The corridor board
A schematic view of how the portfolio sits against Southern Africa’s freight corridors, ports and the AfCFTA market. Exact distances and capacities publish when the client data pack lands — see the verification register.
An SEZ lives or dies on what it costs to move a container from factory gate to ship rail. Every profile in the directory reports the same three logistics numbers — power, land, distance to port — so sites can be compared line for line, once verified.
