288 | WAW POLITRICKS | DR MICHAEL MASIAPATO ON BORDER MANAGEMENT

This week on WAW Politricks, DJ Fresh & Botsang sit down with Dr Michael Masiapato, Commissioner and CEO of the Border Management Authority (BMA) — the man tasked with securing South Africa’s borders. The Border Management Authority was created to unify and strengthen border control functions previously scattered across Home Affairs, SAPS and SARS. But has the consolidation worked? Are South Africa’s borders more secure today? Is corruption at ports of entry being tackled? And can we realistically manage migration pressures while balancing economic growth and humanitarian responsibility? In this candid and policy-driven conversation, Dr Masiapato unpacks: • What has changed since the BMA became operational • The real challenges of managing porous land borders • Technology and modernisation at ports of entry • Corruption, accountability and oversight • Regional cooperation within SADC • What success actually looks like for border management This is not just about fences and passports — it’s about national security, economic stability, sovereignty and public trust. Is South Africa getting it right? Watch, comment and join the conversation. Thank you for watching, please subscribe to support the channel.
