Protesters in South Africa and Zimbabwe have forced the closure of the countries’ common border at Beitbridge.
The demonstrators, from South Africa, Zimbabwe, Mozambique and India, are upset about a new Zimbabwean regulation banning the importation of locally available goods.
Businesses on the South African side of the border have been making a lot of money from Zimbabweans buying goods to resell at home.
A local journalist told the BBC that at the moment there is no movement across the frontier.
The protesters are saying that if the Zimbabwe does not want the goods on sale then the border should be shut.
Officials from the two countries are trying to sort out the problem.
