Songwe. The Tanzanian government has taken steps to address long-standing congestion and delays at the Tunduma border to ensure smooth flow of trucks to Zambia and beyond.
Despite the establishment of the Tunduma-Nakonde One Stop Border Post (OSBP) in October 2019, truckers ferrying goods have continued to face substantial waiting times on the Tanzanian side, primarily due to congestion caused by inefficiencies in border operations and limited infrastructure.
