Border security is a critical component of national safety, aimed at regulating the movement of people and goods while preventing illegal activities such as human trafficking and smuggling.

In the most revent indicent, Border Management Authority officials intercepted two groups of foreign nationals at OR Tambo International Airport in what the agency believes were attempts linked to human trafficking, irregular migration, and visa fraud.
