A REGULAR road service for removals has begun between Cape Town, South Africa, and the main towns of Kenya. It is being operated by a tractor and multiple trailer outfit with a length of 70 ft., and the journey is scheduled to take 13 days.
The contents of four average households can be hauled in the trailers, which have an aggregate capacity of 3,600 cu. ft. Gross weight of the outfit, which has 22 wheels, is about 27 tons and the cost of a removal to Nairobi, which is 3,764 miles from Cape Town, is £350-£400.
The cost of a sea removal is about the same, but the new service is quicker, although its regularity depends upon the state of the roads.
