Durban - KWAZULU-Natal transporters say they are anxiously waiting for an end to interruptions that had set them back nearly a week at Beitbridge border post.
The busiest border post in southern Africa, which connects South Africa with Zimbabwe and is also a key access point for trade with other neighbouring countries, was re-opened to other traffic by the Home Affairs Department on Monday.
However, freight companies said the delays started last week, with some trucks waiting up to five days at the border to get across.
Businessman Chris Moodley of KZN Clearing said it was the longest wait his trucks had had at the border.
