South Africa's Border Management Authority has deployed a new Vehicle Targeting System using digital tracking and data analysis to target suspicious vehicles, replacing random manual inspections at six major border posts. The system has helped recover vehicles valued at R46.6 million within six months, enhancing border enforcement efficiency and accountability.
