South Africa: Operations at Richards Bay terminal normalising slowly

Services at Transnet’s two ports in KwaZulu-Natal, Richards Bay and Durban, which were gripped by shutdowns, looting and burning of businesses last week, started to improve since the latter half of last week, as per reports. The number of employees reporting for shifts increased following the restoration of public transport in parts of KwaZulu-Natal. Richards Bay had managed to clear all shipping backlogs, and truck movements ferrying dry bulk commodities have also commenced.
