CV and TP GuideThe World Customs Organisation (WCO) has released its ‘Guide to Customs Valuation (CV) and Transfer Pricing (TP)’ which includes the International Chamber of Commerce (ICC) proposals for more coherent tax and customs revenue collection. The guide provides concrete guidance on revenue collection to governments around the world and aims to harmonise revenue collection between customs and tax authorities. It is designed to be accessible to both experts and non-experts and explores the linkages and possibilities for Customs to use TP information to examine international transactions within a multinational group – multinational enterprises (MNE).

For some time the ICC has been calling on governments to address the major challenges

that businesses face due to discrepancies between the CV approach – based on the World Trade Organisation (WTO) Valuation Agreement – and the ‘arm’s length principle’ for profit tax purposes approach based on the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) TP Guidelines.The ICC has committed itself to encouraging the OECD and the United Nations (UN) to work towards further coherence of customs and tax authorities.

In response to rising concerns within the business community the ICC identified seven innovative and pragmatic solutions based on convergence to secure, clarify and simplify TP and CV rules gathered from customs experts from businesses worldwide.

Trade financeOn 13 July 2015 WTO director-general Roberto

Azevêdo outlined the major gaps that exist within the provision of trade finance, particularly in Africa and Asia, and the major impact that this can have on growth and development. According to him, trade has played a major role in the successful global effort to halve extreme poverty, and it can do a great deal more in the years to come. A range of policy measures is needed to make sure that the poor experience the full benefits of trade.

The WTO identified trade finance as a key issue, as up to 80% of global trade is supported by some sort of financing or credit insurance. The estimated value of unmet trade finance in Africa is between US$110 billion and US$120 billion. The WTO believes that the bridging of this gap can unlock the trading potential of many thousands of individuals and small businesses across the African continent.

The three new customs acts, which had original implementation dates of “about June 2015”, are still stuck at a public discussion phase – and sitting in limbo with the SA Revenue Service (Sars).

When the idea was at its natal stage, the releases from Sars suggested that somewhere around June 2015 it would replace the current Customs and Excise Act with two new pieces of legislation – the Customs Control Act and the Customs Duty Act. Pieces of the existing legislation were to be repealed through the Customs Repeal Act and the bits that were left over would be renamed the Excise Duty Act.

The process towards implementation has

continued in the usual government stutter towards completion, but is currently just left up in the air at Sars.

And companies that will be affected by the changes are getting anxious. FTW has been told that

companies planning ahead to prepare themselves for compliance still haven’t got the finalised Sars rules to go along with the bodies of the acts.

And the companies have got to be ready to go. It’s a

switch-over that requires accurate timing, or import and export companies in the freight industry could be left without licences and out in the cold.

As they have to move from the old act to the new acts, there are hand-over processes to be considered. And an analyst told FTW that the most

important of these was that any company or person that wished to continue importing or exporting would have to re-register with Sars, within 30 days of the new legislation being put in place.

This also applies to all licences issued by Sars under the existing act as well as a host of new licence applications required in terms of the new legislation. And, while there is no time limit within which Sars is obliged to process the registration and licence applications, he added, if an application is not received from the company wishing to register within the 30-day deadline, all existing registrations and licences issued will lapse.

So what is happening with the acts?

For an answer, FTW approached Malcolm Hartwell, master mariner and director of lawyers, Norton Rose Fulbright.

But he professed to the same ignorance of the state of play with

the acts. However, he rendered a suspicion that an apparently politically motivated reshuff le of top Sars management might very well be the barrier standing in the way of Sars’ rules finalisation.

“As you know,” said Hartwell, “they have been published and are up for comment.

“But it’s bizarre. Nothing has been covered. And we’ve no explanation about what’s happening – and can only be left to speculate.”

But Hartwell did his own speculation, and suggested that the Sars management changes must have had a pretty disastrous effect on decision-making within the tax authority.

And, in what appears to FTW to be a Zumafication of the management team at Sars, some pretty important heads have rolled.

In early May, Sars announced in a rather a terse statement that the resignations of suspended deputy commissioner Ivan

Pillay and head of strategic planning and risk Peter Richer had been confirmed with “immediate effect”.

It also revealed that all Sars-initiated charges and related investigations had been withdrawn. And before this, at the time of Pillay’s first suspension, Sars chief of operations, Barry Hore, also resigned.

The press has made the point that Sars is reeling from this high-level purge of senior tax officials by new commissioner Tom Moyane. And, said a Network24 release, “senior government officials now fear that Sars – one of the most stable state institutions pre-1994 – ‘may implode’.”

The reason for this, it added, was that – since his appointment by President Jacob Zuma in September – Moyane has been targeting senior Sars officials “who worked alongside Minister Pravin Gordhan in building Sars into a world-class revenue collection service”.

And this, according to Hartwell, is likely to delay decision-making at Sars and ministerial levels, which will hold up the three customs acts – and possibly not just them.

A leading global insurer has warned that consolidation companies are likely to carry some responsibility for container weight verification when the new International Maritime Organisation (IMO) ruling kicks in on July 1 next year.

The amendment to the Safety of Life at Sea Convention (SOLAS), which mandates the verification of the gross mass of a container, overtly names the ‘shipper’, the ‘master’ and the ‘terminal representative’ as carrying responsibility for the verification.

But who exactly is the ‘shipper’? Risk management and insurance provider, TT Club, comments that due to the complex nature of logistics, the term may encompass a range of people involved in the contracting, packing and transportation of cargo.

Marketing manager for TT Club, Tally Judge, said: “The

World Shipping Council (WSC) guidance notes that the key commercial relationship in question is with the person whose name is placed on the ocean carrier’s bill of lading. Therefore, in many cases, the responsibility for the actual verified declaration would rest with a freight forwarder, logistics operator or non-vessel operating carrier (NVOC).”

Judge commented that this meant that often reliance would have to be placed on others to have adequate certified methods to provide the

verified weight – particularly for consolidation business.

“Apart from having a sustainable method by which

gross mass is verified, the shipper would

also need to communicate the weight in advance of the vessel’s stow plan being

prepared,” said Judge.

He explained that the information would be sent by the shipper to the carrier but pointed out that with joint service arrangements, there could be a number of carriers involved, with one taking responsibility to consolidate the manifest information.

CEO of Transnet Port Terminals (TPT), Karl Socikwa, says it is important to fully understand the new International Maritime Organisation (IMO) ruling around mandatory container weighing and for all industry role players to work together to try to minimise its potential impact.

“There certainly will be an impact on operations and, if there is still a lack of clarity on the regulations by the time the new ruling kicks in on July 1 next year, it will slow down port and port-related operations,” said

Socikwa, speaking to FTW on the side lines of Transnet’s financial results announcement last week.

He said: “We are currently studying the new regulations and looking at what we as an operator need to do to help the shipping lines and other parties comply with the ruling – whether it be the installation of weigh bridges or providing training, we just don’t know yet.”

Socikwa commented that the ruling was a “noble idea” but that it was important to implement the new law in such a way that it did not hamper trade facilitation and cause unnecessary delays.– Adele Mackenzie

Eighteen months since the launch of its Africa consolidation services, Afristar

Freight Services has seen rapid growth in its roadfreight consolidations – in particular to Harare, Lusaka, Gaborone, Lilongwe and Blantyre.

“Our direct service to Harare averages 5-7 days,” says managing director Michael Ryan. “We have also seen an increase in nomination cargo from our destination agents in these African countries as many importers are looking for a through bill of lading service from country of origin to final destination,” he said.

According to Ryan, the main volume of cargo is generated via the company’s direct LCL services from Asia and the Indian sub-continent.

Besides its road service, Afristar’s seafreight services

are particularly strong on the West Africa route, with Lagos and Tema the main discharge ports.

But growth and expansion are on the cards. “Our development routes include the destination ports of

Luanda, Maputo, Dar es Salaam, Mombasa and Kampala – as well as the Indian Ocean Islands of Madagascar, Reunion and Seychelles which are served via our Port Louis hub in Mauritius,” he told FTW.

While Afristar is a relatively new brand in the South African market, the management team’s combined experience spans 126 years in the LCL consolidation business. Ryan has himself notched

up 22 years of industry experience.

And this, he says, is a major benefit in navigating the many challenges facing groupage operators – like the co-ordination of relevant customs documentation in the country of destination.

“We have seen a significant improvement in the speed of transit across borders. Barring random customs stops for cargo inspection, we do not experience delays in general,” he told FTW.

All transport is outsourced – but Afristar has its own road bond and offers an in-house RIT/RIB documentation service.

“On the back of our ever-increasing global network and reliable service from our destination agents in Africa, we are confident of further growth as our brand awareness grows.”

Breaking out of its traditional mould as a cross-border roadfreight specialist,

Sibronov has unveiled plans that will see the company moving in a new strategic direction.

“In the past Sibronov has been perceived as a transporter. But we are a lot more than that – we’re a logistics management company that offers freight forwarding,” director Marcel Nowak told FTW.

The company has set up three separate modal divisions – road and air which will be handled in-house, and seafreight which will be outsourced.

Progress Chabuda has been appointed business development manager in the roadfreight division, concentrating on road haulage into Africa.

Zimbabwe-born, Chabuda previously ran his own over-border road transport business. As part of the Sibronov team, he will be focusing on full and LCL (less than container load) cargo into the Sadec region using Sibronov’s newly acquired 8- and 12-ton vehicles for consolidations and dedicated loads. Transport will be outsourced where required.

Consolidations will be a major focus of the revamped operation and Sibronov has converted its Kya Sands warehouse in Johannesburg into a 24-hour consolidation and distribution centre.

The roadfreight groupage service will cover Zimbabwe, Zambia, Mozambique, Botswana and Namibia. The company has already established a firm footprint in the DRC which it markets as an express service, offering a three- to four-day transit time. Using its own dedicated clearing agent helps streamline the service, says Nowak.

While Johannesburg is currently the company’s central hub for all over-border cargo, Sibronov will later this year be opening an office in Walvis Bay which will be set up as a complementary hub for over-border cargo.

The company will stuff and destuff containers in Walvis

Bay which is strategically best situated for cargo from the Americas, parts of Europe and the UK, says Nowak. “Anything from the Eastern side will come through Durban.”

Congestion at the Port of Durban has been part of the motivation for the Walvis Bay office, according to Nowak, who says the customer-focused approach of the Namibian Port Authorities has also played a role in his decision. “The new port is expected to be completed by 2017 and we believe that now is the right time to establish our presence in the region.”

In the past the mining industry has been a major focus for the company. But the

downturn in the industry’s fortunes has seen a slowdown in business which Nowak believes has had a positive spin-off. “It’s given me time to re-evaluate the market and

think more strategically in terms of future growth. We will now be targeting all cargo types – from the hospitality industry to communications and construction and anything

in between, using all modes of

transport,” he said.

Closing Africa’s infrastructure gap is a top priority in order to put the continent on the path to double-digit growth and sustainable development, according to American economist, Professor Jeffrey Sachs.

“There is no choice, Africa needs 10% per year of economic growth in the next 15 years,” he said at the Third

Financing for Development Conference recently held in Addis Ababa in Ethiopia. It was organised by the New Partnership for Africa’s Development (Nepad) Agency and Sustainable Development Solutions Network (SDSN).

According to Sachs, who is the director of the SDSN and special adviser to UN secretary-general

Ban Ki-moon, the only way for Africa to achieve the necessary growth is to focus on large-scale investments in trans-national infrastructure projects in power, roads, broadband and other core regional infrastructure needs.

Speaking on the sidelines of the conference, Sachs said it was imperative that the global community rally

around the Nepad agenda as the continent’s strategy for implementing cross-border infrastructure projects. “We need to help support Nepad achieve its goals,” he said.

The Nepad agency has identified Africa’s most important infrastructure needs within the context of the programme for infrastructure development in Africa (PIDA), which provides

the framework to implement 51 priority programmes and projects in the sectors of energy, transport, broadband and trans boundary water.

The agency has maintained that Africa’s biggest challenge is not unlocking resources, but rather a lack of bankable projects. “We need to invest in the capacity to invest,” said Dr Ibrahim Mayaki, CEO of the Nepad agency.

Infrastructure investment holds key to Africa’s growth

Your preferred operator to LESOTHO for 15 years

Adele Mackenzie

Neutral groupage operator CFR Freight is seeing increased demand

for its services into Africa and is upping its frequencies to meet the additional demand.

“We now offer a weekly service to Ghana and

Kenya and have introduced our own dedicated service by road from the port of Durban to Lusaka in Zambia,” said Martin Keck, CFR managing director, commenting that the

company had seen steady growth to all its African

destinations.“Our outlook

remains very positive and we will introduce more direct services soon,” he added.

Stephen Bishop, general manager of

airfreight, said that 60% of the division’s

export volumes were currently

moving into

the continent. “Zimbabwe, Zambia and Tanzania have had consistent volumes while Ghana and Nigeria have shown positive growth in the last few months,” he said.

Bishop told FTW that CFR’s growth into Africa was largely on the back of increased support from clients and their own intensified focus on African growth.

While Keck highlighted port congestion, customs procedures and high destination costs as some of the biggest obstacles to further growth into Africa, Bishop noted that one of the biggest issues to date had been the airfreight industry’s inability to service delivered at

place (DAP) requests into the continent.

“Many agents in South Africa have a limited network of partners in Africa and we have put a lot of work into ensuring that we can assist them,”

said Bishop. He pointed out that CFR’s association with the Air Cargo Group enabled it to offer DAP services into 43 of the 54 African countries – covering 80% of the continent.

“Through our various partners, such as African Express and other air cargo providers, we can act as an extension of our clients’ own networks into Africa,” said Bishop, noting that CFR was constantly negotiating “mutually beneficial deals” with the carriers to be able to offer its clients the best combination of rates and services into the region.

He said the airfreight

division’s outlook was “very positive”. “We will be

launching several e-commerce

developments within the next

six months,” Bishop said.

BULK BUYING POWERgets you the best airfreight rate

Zacpak – which offers unpack depot facilities in Durban, Cape Town and Johannesburg – has seen growth into Africa, with many of its customers using a through bill of lading from SA port landings into landlocked countries on the continent.

“Many of our clients use the through bill as part of their strategy into Africa and we have seen increased demand for that service recently,” said Zacpak managing director, Willie Nel.

He told FTW that the company was focusing on electronic data integration to ensure a seamless and streamlined operation for

its clients which lowered logistics costs and fast-tracked the movement of goods.

“However, while our focus is very information technology-driven, we realise that

personalised relationships and good service complete the true value-add picture,” said Nel, adding that Zacpak’s new ‘Shift your World’ corporate

identity – which it shares with its parent company CFR Freight – mobilises the team to reach higher levels of service.

“Africa has the highest logistics costs in the world and the impact of wasted time at border posts contributes to this.– Mike Fitzmaurice

Border delays remain one of the biggest challenges for truckers in southern and East Africa, driving up cost significantly.

Mike Fitzmaurice, head of the Federation of East and Southern African Road Transport Associations (Fesarta), said unless border delays were addressed costs would continue to escalate.

“There was a move towards creating a one-stop border post at Chirundu that would ultimately be a guideline for other border posts in the region to reduce border crossing time and improve efficiency, but this has still not been achieved.”

He said studies had shown that transporters were spending around 30% of their time travelling along corridors while the remaining 70% was spent waiting at border posts, ports, weighbridges, police checkpoints and other stops en route.

“This wasted time means the cost of goods

increases. Africa has the highest logistics costs in the world and the impact of wasted time at border posts contributes to this.”

Fitzmaurice said while there were many attempts being made by organisations such as SADC to address the situation at ground level there was very little change being achieved.

“It is a political situation because even though countries agree at a regional level to address these issues it does not happen at border posts and so there is no change.”

An example of this is the SADC protocol on transport that came into effect more than 20 years ago. While all the countries agreed

and signed the document nothing has been achieved on an individual country level.

“Add to this the host of fees and taxes that apply and it is understandable why goods in Africa are so expensive,” he said. “If there was a definite attempt to increase intra-regional trade by putting

these trade agreements in place, it would ensure a far more efficient and affordable movement of goods and each country would pay less for its commodities and goods. But until this operating environment

is transformed we are going to have to contend with escalating costs.”– Liesl Venter

Not only did the three-month strike last year go a long way towards dealing the SA Post Office (Sapo) a lethal blow (See the “courier versus post office” story in last week’s FTW), but it has now shot itself financially in both feet and a good bit more of its corporate remains.

Nobody in the post office is denying that Sapo is running at a loss, with the gloriously titled SA Post Office Strategic Corporate Plan admitting that Sapo “was not generating positive cash f lows”.

The Post Office has already made public that its preliminary net loss for the financial year to March 31 2015 was about R1.1bn – and it is struggling to pay some of its suppliers.

Adding to this, chief postman, Minister Siyabonga Cwele, has had to admit to Parliament that Sapo owes almost

R245m to more than 2 000 suppliers, and is in arrears of over six months.

But acting-CEO Mlu Mathonsi and interim administrator Simosizwe Lushaba are dancing the Eskom shuff le. They have insisted to the press that “a massive turnaround is taking place”.

And, in a May Sapo projection, the two are placing their bets on hitting a R1.3 billion profit by 2017 and a R1.5bn profit by 2018.

However, this is “being taken with a pinch of salt”

by the freight industry, according to conversations with management contacts. Most agreed that Sapo’s current and on-going bout of the dreaded “negative cash f low” is unlikely to improve.

“If you’re not able to give your customers a reliable service, you’re going to keep losing more and more business until the final crunch,” said one exec. “This has accelerated since that strike, as everybody found other same-cost alternatives. And once

found and proven reliable, nobody’s going to let go.”

And the official opposition, the DA, also put a few titbits before the press.

Cameron MacKenzie, the man with the tongue-tripping title of “the DA shadow deputy minister of telecommunications and postal services”, said that Sapo was “using its suppliers as a second overdraft to f loat its negative cash f low.

“A further 879 creditors remain unpaid for over 60 days, with 1 804 unpaid for more than 30 days. This total amount owed to creditors for more than 30 days is unclear, but what is apparent is that this amount is much more than the organisation’s total current overdraft facilities at commercial banks, meaning that the Sapo cannot pay its current debts.”– Alan Peat

Claims that toll fee tariffs on the N1/N2 Winelands toll road will be three times the amounts payable by road-users using the Gauteng toll roads have been disputed by the South African National Roads Agency Limited (Sanral).

Addressing the Cape Chamber of Commerce and Industry last week, Sanral CEO Nazir Alli said toll tariffs had not been set although the preferred bidder for the project, the Protea Parkway Consortium (PPC), had recommended a tariff structure. This, however, was only a proposal as the

final decision on toll tariffs lay with the Minister of Transport.

“Claims of profits of R48 billion on this project are also not correct,” he said. “These figures have been reached simply by taking the recommended tariff structure and multiplying it over the 30-year concession period to determine a revenue stream and then subtracting the initial R10 million construction from that.”

Alli said these figures were simply not feasible as it was not possible to determine the revenue of the toll roads. “We cannot guarantee the revenue as we cannot guarantee the

traffic. The revenue is also not the profit. These are issues that are causing major confusion and have to be clarified.”

He said claims that Sanral had signed a contract with the preferred bidder with a clause that said if the expected profit from tolls was not met then Sanral would have to be held liable for the shortfall were also false.

The City of Cape Town has publicly stated that it estimates that Sanral could have to reimburse the concessionaire as much as R40.9 billion should the transport minister refuse to sanction PPC’s toll tariff, resulting in a lower tariff

determination for the project.

“No contract has been signed with the preferred bidder and so the issue of such a clause does not even arise,” said Alli who also pointed out that the only toll project in the country currently where the risk was shared between the private sector and government and where traffic was also guaranteed was Chapman’s Peak, run by the Western Cape provincial government.

“We are not funding this project for the concessionaire. The revenue and traffic risk will be fully borne by the concessionaire,” he said.

“And there is a lot of risk in this project for the concessionaire.”

He said a lot of thought and detail had gone into the process around which roads in the country needed to be tolled – and in addition it was a legislative process.

“We don’t just wake up in the morning and decide this or that road must be tolled. It is a carefully thought out process aimed at benefiting road users.”

Cape toll tariffs still to be decidedClaims of profits of R48bn on this project are not correct.– Nazir Alli“

The maintenance backlog on South African roads will continue to escalate unless alternative funding methods are found and tolling, at present, remains the best option available, according to Nazir Alli, CEO of the South African National Roads Agency Limited (Sanral).

Alli said the maintenance backlog had grown by R50 billion from 2010 and would continue to rise.

“The backlog on the network is R197 billion. That is up from R149 billion in 2010. And it is increasing. It may just sound like a lot of zeros to the average person but it is a reality,” he said. And while the state-owned agency was being prevented from tolling roads in the Western Cape due to a legal process lodged by the City of Cape Town, one had to understand that there were no other funds available to upgrade and expand these particular roads, he added.

In the article ‘It’s time to call a halt to BEE’ (July 17, 2015) FTW quoted BBBeeWise chief adviser, Kyle Mitchell, as saying that it was possible that broad-based black economic codes (B-BBEE) of good practice could have a shelf-life.

Mitchell was incorrectly quoted. He said that he believed that B-BBEE had a role to play in South Africa, if managed correctly, and if it was used to educate and develop the previously disadvantaged.

Mitchell comments that foreign-owned entities are finding it challenging to comply with the new laws for ownership, with a few companies showing reluctance to comply. “However, with the correct guidance and advice, a company could turn the challenge into a positive, provided the entity is willing to adapt,” he says.

Average turnaround time at the Port of Durban was reduced by six hours in the 2014/2015 financial year, dropping to 52 hours compared to the 58 hours recorded for the previous financial year.

“For the previous financial year, we had just taken delivery of the new ship-to-shore (STS) cranes and were providing training around the operation of them. At full optimisation we have seen a marked improvement in efficiency at the port,” said Karl Socikwa, CEO of Transnet Port Terminals.

While Socikwa conceded that “much still needed to be done” to improve efficiency and reduce congestion at all of South Africa’s ports, he said TPT was “continuously working” on this.

According to him, TPT has identified three key areas on which it is focusing this year to improve operational efficiency. “We are working with Transnet National Ports Authority (TNPA) to achieve proper draught and depth at the respective ports,” said Socikwa.

He said TPT had also been engaging with the shipping lines to ensure they stowed their vessels in an optimal way. “Through optimal stowage, we

can employ three to five cranes at a time and considerably boost turnaround time.”

Thirdly, said Socikwa, deploying the maximum number of cranes in operation, including the straddle carriers, has helped the yard hauliers to improve their efficiency.

“We expect significantly improved levels of efficiency at the ports for the next financial year,” he said.

Turnaround time at the Port of Ngqura improved by 10 hours (down to 34 hours from 44), Cape Town improved by two hours (down to 27 hours from 29), while Port Elizabeth remained constant with an average turnaround time of 26 hours.

Richards Bay saw an increase in its average turnaround time, jumping to 50 hours (from 44) and East London’s turnaround time increased by seven hours (from 71 hours).

Train turnaround time at ports improved by a few hours at each port as well, with the exception of the Port of Saldhana which increased by two hours due to “equipment challenges” and a shortage of staff, which is “being addressed”, according to Socikwa.– Adele Mackenzie

The next step towards filling an historical gap in SA’s airfreight market stats is likely to be a legislative one, according to Alwyn Rautenbach, director of cargo for Airlink Cargo and chairman of the Air Cargo Operators Committee (Acoc).

Acoc is one of the three bodies, along with the Airports Company of SA (Acsa) and the SA Revenue Service (Sars), busy creating for the first time a monthly statistical analysis of SA’s airfreight market.

Devised a year ago, an early step was the choice of Acsa as the compilers of the data – and stats from Acoc and Sars forming the first data base. This was followed by a decision on how the relevant figures could be most easily separated out and recorded under the appropriate title bar.

But here the team hit the first snag. Sars data provided all the figures that were needed under the headings cargo category, volume, mass and value. But only for international cargo in-or out of this country. Transit cargo overborder via SA and domestic cargo are not part of the Sars script.

“So,” said Rautenbach, “the airlines had to be included as a data source.”

But the problem here is that passenger details per flight, because of the airport levy, have to be recorded and submitted to the airports company on a compulsory basis. Not so cargo. No levy, no record.

On a trial basis, the airlines were asked to voluntarily submit cargo details to Acsa.

But airlines are very wary about releasing information of flights because of the competitive nature of the beast.

“So I think we need a more rigid process,” Rautenbach said. “Make it compulsory to report.”

And the airlines, he added, would need to submit the cargo manifest for each flight in an electronic format. This would supply all the stats necessary to finalise the compilation of the data base.

“Immediately available and on-line,” Rautenbach said.

Legal intervention needed to gather airfreight statsAirlines reluctant to submit cargo details

Make it compulsory to report.– Alwyn Rautenbach“

Scammers

The trucking industry in particular has been targeted in the past with goods being picked up by someone pretending to be the transporter.”

In another incident reported to FTW, a person from a logistics company in Uganda asked for a quote to cover the purchase of machinery locally and the freight applicable to export to Uganda.

They also made a cheque payment but it was not worth the paper it was printed on as the cheques were found to be fraudulent.

“The names of the companies, the banks they use and all the information around the transactions seem reputable enough which is why people often fall for the scam,” says Robinson.

“And it’s not just a South African problem but one that is seen around the globe. It is important that companies know about the scam and are on the lookout for the signs. Know the red flags and stop the scam before it happens.”

From page 1

MBABANE – A drop in the price of sugar sold to Swaziland’s biggest customer, the European Union (EU), was responsible for a R138-million profit loss for the Royal Swaziland Sugar Corporation (RSSC). The company runs the country’s largest sugar mills and processes sugar supplied by smallholder farmers. Sugar is both Swaziland’s top export and leading

agricultural export, transported in raw state by both road and rail.

“Total comprehensive income amounted to R234.2m, compared to R371.8m in the prior year. The decline in profitability was influenced by a decline in sugar prices in the EU market, partially offset by positive impact of an increase in sugar production of 37 953 tonnes,” read the company’s

financial report released this week.

The Swaziland Sugar Association (SSA) admits that the country’s sugar industry depends on EU business, but is seeking new markets in SADC and East Africa initially. Price competitiveness can be managed if ways can be found to lower production and transportation costs, the SSA says.– James Hall
