South African authorities opened all border crossings with Mozambique amid the fact that the neighboring country has seen no significant opposition protests in the past 24 hours against the results of the presidential and parliamentary elections held on October 9, according to the local media.
Earlier this week, at the height of the opposition's massive protests, border crossings were closed on the South African side. These protests reportedly included arson and looting in both Maputo, the capital of Mozambique, and areas near the border with South Africa.
However, as of this weekend, the situation in Mozambique has started to stabilize, according to the local media. There have been no major opposition protests since then.
Mozambique's presidential runner-up, Venancio Mondlane, has called for protests following his defeat to Daniel Chapu of the ruling Frelimo party. Mondlane, who received 20.32% of the vote compared to Chapu's 70.67%, is expected to outline his next steps on Monday.
