South Africa: Limpopo SEZ readies for lift-off
After years of intensive planning, the Musina-Makhado Special Economic Zone (MMSEZ) is nearly ready to get off the ground.
The head of the Infrastructure and Investment Office in the Presidency, Dr Kgosientso Ramokgopa, on Monday revealed that plans are well underway for construction of the SEZ.
Ramokgopa was speaking at the Infrastructure Development Roadshow taking place in Polokwane, Limpopo.
Investment in infrastructure is part of the overall economic recovery plan of government to create employment opportunities across various sectors and surrounding communities.
The Limpopo provincial government says it is confident that the Musina and Makhado municipalities -- which are strategically located along the North-South Corridor and in the vicinity of the second busiest port of entry, the Beit Bridge Border Post -- is the ideal home for the Special Economic Zone.
