Our most-read story last week was the news that Makro staff were set to strike across the country following a deadlock over a wage dispute that has dragged on for the past eight months: https://tinyurl.com/44bzpna8

Second on the list was the extraordinary story of a boy who apparently fell asleep in a dockside container at the Port of Chittagong, was loaded onto a vessel, and travelled some 1 600 nautical miles before he was found about 3 780km southeast at Port Klang: https://tinyurl.com/46nj5ken

The petrol and diesel price hike that is still on the cards for this week came in third: https://tinyurl.com/p7xtu4js

RB Associated Logistics’ announcement of the opening of its new warehouse in Clairwood Logistics Park also generated substantial reader interest: https://tinyurl.com/2vfz75fs as did news that MSC Mediterranean Shipping Company and Maersk had decided to part ways and mutually agreed to terminate the present 2M alliance.

Rounding off the top six was last week’s weather warning for Mozambique: https://tinyurl.com/342vx7x8
