Angola road conditions a major headache

Imports are the main focus for Windhoekbased Unlimited Logistics, says Johan Claassen. “Our 8-ton trucks are currently very busy on the South Africa-Angola and South Africa-Namibia routes,” he says. But a major headache is the poor state of roads in Angola, making journeys a lot more hazardous. “In all the years I’ve been in this trade, I’ve never seen the roads in such a terrible condition,” Claassen says. The demand for superlink “one client loads” has declined slightly, he added. “My opinion on this matter is that the trade from Angola is highly dependent on the currency exchange rate and the money restrictions going out of Angola. Therefore, consolidated loads have picked up significantly.” According to Claassen, Unlimited Logistics offers a quick turn-around time on all consolidated loads. “We have established ourselves in the market and will handle the complete import/export process – all we need is your invoice,” he adds.
