Truck drivers face immense challenges in transporting goods and materials into the country.

Transworld Cargo, a local logistics company, documented the journey of two truck drivers in a documentary called "Beyond the Road," as they transported 20 tonnes of glass bottles from Angola.

The journey provided a glimpse into the determination and commitment of the two drivers.

There is a need for Africa to locally manufacture vaccines and fill immunisation gaps.

Currently, Africa imports 99 percent of its vaccines.

Moreover, more than 90 percent of medicines and medical devices are imported.

This situation has proven to be a challenge in Namibia and other nations during pandemics such as COVID-19, monkeypox, and Ebola.

This is concerning and raises questions about the preparedness for future pandemics, emphasising the importance of partnerships and collaboration.
