     The police members are exposed to a unhealthy work environment with no adequate shelter with 
      temperatures of between 40-42 degrees Celsius; No toilets in the immediate vicinity
     Dust is a major problem because the side of the road is gravel at the border post
     When it rains, the searching stops
     Unavailability of a scanner to check bulk cargo, so it goes unsearched
     There is a shortage of members during the Easter and Festive season periods
     The proposed one stop border post is not in place due to legal impediments raised by the SAPS 
      and has not been operationalised.
