This morning I received emails confirming that our combine is ready to be shipped by road to Iringa/Kisolanza. The last couple of days have been upsetting as more confusing bureaucratic mistakes and misinformation from Bollore popped up; but now it seems they have finally gotten their act together(maybe with a little prodding from the head office in South Africa!) and they are telling Jerry Diaz, Cheetah's man in Dar(who is actually now in Iringa temporarily) that the truck with our container will be leaving Dar on Saturday morning...late Friday night our time...
I have requested Bollore send me a digital photo of the container on the truck ready to depart for Iringa; if I receive it I will post it on the Harvesters of Hope part of our website at church...with an update.
The LONAGRO(John Deere dealer) people have been informed of the proceedings and we expect they will be able to offload the combine when it gets to their service facility at Kisolanza; Cheetah people from the Iringa office will be present when the combine is offloaded at Kisolanza to keep an eye on everything...
