Lin Botha from the South African Freight Forwarders Association said that “drivers and shippers are very aware of what happens to them, industrial and economic, if they are not really aware of COVID … They are aware of the spread of COVID, that’s what makes them nervous when they are crowded in lines without restrooms for days and hours. “
Botha said that COVID-19 awareness is being undermined by conditions at border posts.
