SADC truck drives bemoan dirty parks, dry ports

By NATION REPORTER
THE Southern African Development Community (SADC) Truck Drivers Association says the continued insufficient and unclean truck parks and dry ports may contribute to a cholera outbreak among truck drivers
In an interview with Millennium tv the association’s president Mr Eugene Ndhlovu says some truck parks have one pit latrine that are serving up to 200 truck drivers each day, a situation he believes could lead to a diarrhoea outbreak.
He has called on the government to find possible measures implement the national transport policy by establishing suitable and well-equipped truck parks and dry port to curb the rising issues of cholera
He adds that issues of toilets and showers must be maintained to meet the ever rising number of truckers to make sure that cholera does not strike
