The second episode of the documentary series\u00a0Open Borders<\/em>\u00a0was released today.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The episode titled \u201cThe Carjacker\u2019s Carnival\u201d<\/em> focuses on how non-existent border control between South Africa and Mozambique is fuelling cross-border crime.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The film explores the consequences faced by regular South Africans because of the ease with which the border can illegally be crossed and how volunteers are stepping up to fight crime by forming neighbourhood watches and other civilian safety structures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt was extremely inspiring to see how civilians have decided to take up this challenge, by securing their own communities\u201d, says Jacques Broodryk, AfriForum\u2019s spokesperson for Community Safety and director of the documentary.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAfriForum has 159 neighbourhood watches countrywide, and many of these civilian safety structures fall in border areas. These volunteers must fight cross-border crime daily, and we\u2019re very proud that this film can showcase how effective they are,\u201d concludes Broodryk.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

One of the main themes in this episode is how stolen and hijacked vehicles are smuggled across the border, resold in other African countries, and often smuggled back into South Africa again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
