Among the problems in the area is the smuggling of various products, due to the lack of inspection, and people entering or leaving the country without observing legal procedures
Illegal gold mining in Lupilichi in Lago district is a cause for concern, and more than enough reason to urgently create a checkpoint in Chiwindi, close to the Republic of Tanzania.
According to district administrator André Luendo, the checkpoint could also help monitor the border, which is proving porous. Luendo also worries that the responsible entities – specifically the Immigration Service – are incapable of managing this problem, especially since Chiwindi is evolving and the flow of people using the border is increasing.
According to the source, a checkpoint could help reduce the large number of illegal immigrants passing through the area, and would also help monitor the entire coast of Lake Niassa, up to the town of Cobué. Lupilichi is a rich area, not only because of the gold that is found there, but also because of the abundance of natural resources, including fishing and illegal mining, which attract many people.
