Axle load limit on Botswana roads increased

This endorsement signals another huge milestone of the Trans Kalahari Corridor Management Committee (TKCMC) in their quest to harmonise cross-border procedures, systems and practices on the Trans Kalahari Corridor linking the port of Walvis Bay in Namibia with Botswana and Gauteng province in South Africa consistent with TKC MOU signed by three Governments on 3 November 2003. The new axle load limits of 9000 kg became effective on 17 June 2008. 

This means that transporters departing South Africa and Namibia with legal load limits of 9000 kg will be treated the same in Botswana.
