Namibia is ready to send the first consignment under the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA) framework at Walvis Bay on Monday.

Namibia will turn trade under the AfCFTA framework from theory to practice.

Lack of coordination between border agencies is among the reasons why there are delays in releasing import or export goods at the port of Walvis Bay.

This is according to the first ever Time Release Study report, which has identified bottlenecks that impede seamless trade at the port.
