BMA Commissioner Dr Michael Masiapato highlighted that the authority successfully met 11 of its 12 quarterly targets, as set in its Annual Performance Plan, overcoming various operational challenges previously reported.

Masiapato spoke during a media briefing where he gave a report on the BMA’ work for the second quarter.

He highlighted that heightened operational activities during the quarter were primarily driven by preparatory meetings for the G20 Leaders Summit. Over the three months, the BMA facilitated the attendance of several dignitaries at more than 40 G20 track meetings nationwide. Additionally, the Grobler’s Bridge port of entry processed a significant number of Zion Christian Church (ZCC) members attending their September pilgrimage in Moria, Limpopo.
