SDV upgrades Gaborone warehouse

SDV has upgraded its 1 000 m² warehouse in Gaborone to cater for growth in highvalue and project cargo, according to John Masterten-Smith, general manager. The investment includes a new CCTV system, handling equipment and racking to increase the capacity of the warehouse. The warehouse storage area has been expanded to 1 600 m², with additional secure space in the surrounding yard. This enables SDV in Botswana to build on its experience in providing full logistics services for Huawei Technologies, which is rolling out a wireless communication network across Zimbabwe for Botswana Telecommunications. SDV is supporting Huawei projects in a number of African countries. The Gaborone operation prepares “daily pick-ups” for field teams installing the network, according to Masterten-Smith. He moved to Gaborone earlier this year after managing the SDV operations in Ndola, Zambia.
