  • Strikers are at times violent and drivers who do not join the strike action are intimidated with physical violence. Authorities (Police) are monitoring the situation but are unable to actively intervene.
  • This is a force majeure event which may delay loads in transit with resultant costs being incurred by your cargo. If you have cargo active in this area, please update your customer to possible disruption or added costs
