Re:	South Africa – Transport Unions Strike Update

South Africa – Transport Unions Strike

Transport unions continue to strike and negotiations with the unions are scheduled for today. Thus far Cape Town has been largely unaffected by the strike and deliveries have continued as planned. Durban port is operating now but a city march will likely affect deliveries there. Johannesburg has ceased all deliveries (imports and exports) and Port Elizabeth has limited service. We are monitoring the situation closely there.

For status on any pending orders check with your operations representative at 732-388-0101 or login to AXIS for further detail.
