\u201cGovernment has noted with concern the ongoing protests in parts of Mozambique and reports of individuals escaping from a maximum-security prison during this period of unrest. These developments have understandably raised apprehensions among South African citizens regarding the potential cross-border implications.<\/p>\n

\u201cSouth Africa remains committed to ensuring the safety and security of its citizens and upholding regional stability,\u201d said a statement<\/a> issued by the National Joint Operational and Intelligence Structure (NATJOINTS) on Sunday.<\/p>\n

Intensified its operations<\/h2>\n

NATJOINTS said it has intensified its operations along the South Africa-Mozambique border.\u00a0<\/p>\n

These measures aim to prevent and combat any opportunistic crimes that may arise as a result of the unrest, both during and after the protests.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Government of South Africa is actively engaging the Government of Mozambique at a bilateral level to address these concerns and explore sustainable solutions.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cBoth nations are leveraging their strong diplomatic ties to ensure that appropriate measures are implemented to restore order and enhance security in the affected regions. These engagements reflect the spirit of cooperation and mutual respect that underpin the relationship between South Africa and Mozambique,\u201d said the statement.<\/p>\n

Government said it recognises the interconnected nature of regional security and is determined to uphold its responsibilities in fostering peace and stability in Southern Africa.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cSouth Africa reaffirms its commitment to support Mozambique in restoring peace and stability in ensuring the safety of everyone.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cTo demonstrate South Africa\u2019s commitment towards finding an amicable solution to the impasse in Mozambique, His Excellency President Cyril Ramaphosa has sent Professor Sydney Mufamadi<\/strong> as a special envoy to engage all relevant stakeholders.\u201d<\/p>\n

Remain calm<\/h3>\n

Government urged citizens to remain calm and to refrain from spreading unverified information that may lead to unnecessary panic.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cThe relevant authorities are monitoring the situation closely and will provide timely updates as new information becomes available. Citizens are encouraged to direct any concerns or inquiries to the appropriate channels to ensure accurate and constructive communication,\u201d it said.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
