Southern Africa's first One-Stop Border Post, the Chirundu Post, between Zambia and Zimbabwe has raised hope for small businesses . They have been fighting for survival due long delays at the border.
The One-Stop Border Post constructed barely three months ago should reduce the delays of clearing customs and immigration and further promote regional economic growth.

Chairman General for the Cross Borders Traders Association for Southern Africa Development Community SADC and Common Market for Eastern and Southern Africa COMESA, Bernard Sikunyongana says the One-Stop Border Post is working well for small businesses in the region.
“Upon operation the One-Stop Border Post was expected to reduce delays of about 30% to 50%” said Sikunyongana.
