Mozambique 'unaware of South Africa border wall plan'

By Jose Tembe

The Mozambican authorities say they have not yet received official information from South Africa on a reported plan to construct a wall on their common border.

Foreign Affairs Minister Verónica Macamo said over the weekend that she had only seen the reports on media.

The land border between the two countries measures approximately 490 kilometres (304 miles) long.

Ms Macamo said the Mozambican authorities would discuss the matter with their South African counterparts once an official communication was made.
