The Minister of International Relations and Cooperation (DIRCO), Maite Nkoana-Mashabane says they are working to resolve the issues affecting the Beitridge border post.
Protests broke out on Friday, against a government decision to limit the importing of South African goods into Zimbabwe
Minister Nkoana-Mashabane says they are doing their best to resolve the current impasse.
The unrest was triggered by strict new import regulations, affecting Zimbabwean cross-border traders.
"We would continue to engage Zimbabwe in pursuit of an amicable solution which would be mutually beneficiary. This does not only affect South Africa and Zimbabwe, but several other countries that use the Beitbridge border post," she said.
Zimbabwe's economy has been struggling for years, with many forced to work in the informal sector.
