Operations have resumed at the Port of Durban after they were temporarily suspended earlier this week due to the floods that haveManaging Director at Transnet National Ports Authority, Moshe Motlohi, says currently about 20% of trucks are delivering fuel. He says the trucks delivering essential cargo including medicines and food are also being allowed to travel between Bayhead container terminal and the Port of Durban.

“We were mindful that there were commodities that are urgent that must be kept on the market; here, we are referring to petroleum products. We then arranged with the City of eThekwini that we should be allowed to use the Bliff Road to access Island View where we allowed the trucks that are coming to fetch diesel and fuel and jet fuel.

“We have identified a service road that we are going to commission within the next few weeks, which will come as a bypass to the area that’s been washed away. That will then give us a decent flow of trucks into Bayhead container terminal and Island View that will then carry the 1300 trucks that are coming. We’ll start easing off the embargo in Bayhead Road as soon as we’re done with the current fix that we have,” says Motlohi.

Increasing water catchment will make a huge difference. According Water Atc, South Africa was declared water scarcity County but we as nation we are doing nothing. Heavy rain causes huge damage but I believe that we can also benefit out of this rain if a proper planning is done.
