"All lanes around the border have been cleared and the border has been easily accessible from the afternoon of 24 December 2020," the Department said on Saturday.
"This means that all travellers through Beitbridge have been processed and cleared," it said.
This follows reports of at least eight people having died while waiting to cross the border.
Home Affairs said it worked with the Department of Health, the SA National Defence Force, police, South African Revenue Service and the Limpopo provincial government to resolve the impasse that had led to traffic congestion at Beitbridge.
