GABCON laments loss of business on SA route

Speaking during the Transport and Communication minister Nonofo Molefhi’s visit to Gaborone Container Terminal (GABCON) on Monday, managing director, Modise Koofetlhile said unavailability of loading terminals for Botswana in the neighbouring countries affects their business.

“We are experiencing low business due to lack of proper facilities in the neighbouring countries. South Africa Revenue Services (SARS) can detain some of our goods in Mafikeng. There is no proper communication between Botswana Unified Revenue Services (BURS) and SARS, therefore we are experiencing slow growth of business” he said.
