Road block jams up Beitbridge

- but it’s a temporary hiccup Alan Peat ALTHOUGH THE Beitbridge border post has been clear of congestion for a month, there was an unnecessary hiccup in mid-March, according to Brian Kalshoven, m.d. of Beitbridge Border Clearing Agency, and the local chairman of the SA Association of Freight Forwarders (SAAFF). “The SA military decided to set up a road block just short of the border,” he told FTW,. “They held up all the trucks on the road - not allowing any of them into the truck park until they had been cleared - and we had some delays.” However, this reminder of the complete jam-up at the border in February was only a temporary hitch, Kalshoven added, and things began to flow smoothly once more when the SA National Defence Force (SANDF) packed up its military bags and left.
