Fishy freight story

Transporters know when
the rains have been good in
neighbouring countries –
the demand for frozen fish
drops, according to Verdun
van der Watt, manager of the
Wesbank division of FP du
Toit Group. based in Walvis
Bay
When the rivers and
dams are full, the fish start
breeding, which means that
the locals do not have to rely
on imported
protein –
until the
next dry
spell.
Trucks take
containers
of frozen
fish from
Walvis Bay
as far as the Democratic
Republic of Congo, Malawi
and Mozambique, he says.
