‘Diamonds are a girl’s best friend’

The logistics business in Botswana
is “easy,” as long as you have
experience, know-how, competent
sub-contractors and business savvy.
Otherwise, it can be a nightmare
for shippers unfamiliar with the
transport picture of a country whose
shipping needs keep pace with a
well-performing economy, says
Gertrude Bosekeng, clearing agent
for Zebra Shipping, a firm that
has been a fixture in the Botswana
transport scene for 15 years.
“We do a lot of work for
Diamond Manufacturing in Serowe,
which is 350 km from Gaborone,”
said Bosekeng.
The firm imports manufacturing equipment made in SA for use in the diamond belt.
