Set up your own business rescue plan

With the collapse of state services and infrastructure, it's crucial you protect your enterprise. 

- Peter Hughes.

The import-export service and logistics crisis is man-made. So is the solution. Don’t leave it to others, do what you can to protect your business. “Made it. I’m on the motorway to

Cardiff. Its nine degrees, raining cats and dogs and the traffic’s almost as bad as the trucks on your N4!”

This was the message from a Welsh friend after spending a week with us recently. The weather in the Lowveld had been glorious and we’d seen the full range of beautiful wild life in the Kruger National Park. Prior to visiting us he’d been golfing in the Western Cape, and could not say enough about the beauty and high standards.

PROBLEMS CREATED HERE

We have some serious man-made problems in this country but how happy I am to be living on this southern tip of Africa, far from the traffic, human congestion, bitter cold and wars in the so-called developed world north of us.

The euphoria I felt in response to my friends marvelling the beauty of our country wavered when we met the hundreds of trucks clogging the N4 roadside attempting to cross the Komatipoort border to Maputo.
