The Ngoma border post in Katima Mulilo has faced criticism again after travellers reported waiting for hours early yesterday morning without assistance.

When NBC News visited the border, the situation had returned to normal, with two immigration officers attending to both departure and arrival counters.

A Zambian truck driver narrowly escaped death at the Ngoma border post in the Zambezi Region when his parked truck caught fire while he was sleeping. 

The driver is reported to have arrived at Ngoma Post Tuesday morning from Zambia via Botswana in transit to Walvis Bay, transporting copper.

Travellers using the Ngoma Border Post were delayed Sunday morning due to a lack of manpower.

The Ngoma Border Post opens at six o'clock every day, but this morning it opened 30 minutes late because there was no immigration officer.
