SOCIAL UNREST = CARGO LOSSES


As further regional unrest or violent attacks on trucks can erupt periodically with little notice as South Africa’s economic and political situation remains tense, those doing business in the country and the wider region are advised to consider the following recommendations:


• Monitor updates on new attacks or protests: Spotting early warning signals of impending protests and rising tensions in a particular region using intelligence monitoring tools can help companies reduce their response times, avoid costly supply delays, and implement mitigation measures earlier. Supply chain managers should therefore keep abreast of the latest political and social developments in the country’s economic hubs that may trigger new outbreaks of violence down the line.


• Map and monitor lanes to identify risk hotspots: Although protests and violent attacks on truck drivers have taken place across a range of regions over the years, specific routes as well as entire provinces have seen a higher number of such incidents. Companies are advised to make use of supply chain mapping and transportation planning tools to identify


high risk areas, where a higher number of incidents have taken place in the past, and, where possible, identify alternative routes to mitigate any potential disruptions to pickup and delivery services in the future. Businesses using foreign truck drivers in high risk locations could also consider additional security measures and reconfirm the status of particularly risky routes prior to the journey.


• Prepare contingency plans in the event of attacks or highway closures: Supply chain managers are encouraged to get in touch with their freight forwarders to coordinate schedules for current shipments passing through areas that have seen regular disruptions in the past, and consider adjustments to accommodate longer delivery times or alternate routes in the event of new violent outbreaks.
