Monkey business at Beitbridge border

The hazards of clearing at Beitbridge… The note above was sent to us by Brian Kalshoven who explained that the driver had left his lunch in the cab, on top of the gate pass, while he got under the truck to try to fix it – and he didn’t close the window properly. “A baboon came along and swiped the lot. The delay will probably be put down as the agent’s fault,” he said. “Customs required a letter of explanation before issuing another gate pass.”
