A FRESH CHAPTER AT MELOSA BORDER POST

On 28 June 2024, the Melosa Border Post, which connects Mozambique to Malawi's Muloza Border Post, reopened its newly built immigration and customs office buildings replacing previous structures that were damaged by cyclone Freddy a year ago. Immigration officers from Muloza border post through there Officer Incharge Mr I.D Mussa, were invited to witness the reopening ceremony, officiated by the secretary of state in the province of Zambezia Mrs Cristina de Jesus Xavier Mafumo, marking a significant milestone in strengthening border cooperation and facilitating trade between the two countries.

 

The event was also graced by the presence of  Malawi's Consulate General to Mozambique, Mr. Happy Saka. In his speech, he expressed his gratitude to Mozambican government for inviting Malawian government officials and acknowledged the condolence messages offered regarding the passing of Malawi's Vice President, Dr. Saulos Klaus Chilima. Mr. Saka also highlighted that the newly built buildings will further strengthen the relationship between Mozambique and Malawi, fostering increased cooperation and development. He noted that the invitation extended to immigration officers from Malawi demonstrates the excellent relationship between the two border posts, showcasing a model of cooperation and friendship.

The newly built offices are equipped with modern facilities, including passport scanning machines, to enhance efficient service delivery. Additionally, a new immigration office was inaugurated in Milange district, enabling citizens to access passport services closer to their community. This expansion aims to improve immigration services and promote economic growth.

After the ceremony, Mr. Happy Saka visited the Muloza Border Post, where he encouraged immigration officers to work diligently, provide excellent customer care, and strive towards making a better Malawi and immigration department.
