The country’s immigration department has implemented an Integrated Border Control System (I.B.C.S) at Mwanza border post.

The (I.B.C.S) project initially started at Kamuzu International Airport and Chileka Airport in 2012, aimed at helping the department in reducing the burden when processing and clearing the travelling community.

Confirming of the new system, Mwanza border spokesperson Pasqually Zulu, said that the system will also help in easier and faster collection of data, compared to the backlog during the manual border formalities recently. During the inspection of the project implementation the National Border Affairs officer Andrew Mughogho (Superintendent of Immigration) indicated that the project is still under the pilot phase to see how the system is going to perform, but he was quick to say that in less than a month he expects the system to be fully operational.
