#11 Floods, riots and other calamities: Understanding supply chain disruptions in South Africa
Manage episode 346202654 series 2928285
A series of unfortunate events in the last 18 months have rattled the KwaZulu-Natal Province of South Africa - home to the crucial gateways of Durban and Richards Bay.
Coming at a time when supply chains worldwide were already under considerable strain from the aftershocks of Covid 19 or other events, the riots and floods had a crippling effect on the movement of goods and the local economy.
In this episode, Jeremy Prain and Andrew Pike (partners in the Shipping & Logistics team at Bowmans) discuss and attempt to make sense of the practical and legal implications of these events . They also consider how these calamities might accelerate policy shifts by the SA government to liberalise port and terminal operations, and the opportunities presented to the private sector.
