Zimbabwe will introduce an e-passport system at its Botswana embassy early next year, cutting processing times to seven days, Vice President Constantino Chiwenga announced. Government is also working with Botswana to upgrade the Plumtree Border Post into a one-stop facility to ease regional travel. Diaspora remittances reached US$1.9 billion in 2024, and officials urged Zimbabweans in Botswana to invest back home as part of wider economic engagement.
