Covid-19 protocols are adding to the delays at the troubled border, which are at least 24 hours on the South African side.
It's being reported that a woman has died after collapsing near the Beitbridge border in Limpopo.
It is believed the Zimbabwean citizen had been travelling on a bus since Monday afternoon.
Queues at the troubled border are reportedly up to 15km long.
Covid-19 protocols are apparently adding to the delays which can be up to 24 hours in South Africa and as much as 7 days in Zimbabwe.
Mike Fitzmaurice is the executive director at the Federation of East and Southern African Road Transport Associations (Fesarta) says the situation is critical.
