Maluti-A-Phofung special economic zone, South Africa
Name and Location
Maluti-A-Phofung special economic zone (SEZ), Free State, South Africa.
Client
Free State Development Corporation.
Project Description
The 1 000 ha Maluti-a-Phofung SEZ being built near Harrismith, at the foothills of the the Maluti mountains, will provide road and rail logistics, as well as handling facilities for the Gauteng–Durban port corridor and link it to the Bloemfontein–Cape Town corridor.
The main industries the SEZ will serve are agriculture, agroprocessing, automotive and logistics, and will include container terminal and car terminal facilities.
The SEZ will function as a back-of-port operation to ease congestion at the Durban port and will provide South African customs functions and facilities for imported and export goods, including goods being transported north into Southern African countries.
It will incorporate an intermodal rail and road facility, with specialist transfer infrastructure and associated storage facilities, including cold-chain storage facilities. There is more land available in the vicinity that could potentially accommodate expansion, if required.
Value
R4.8-billion.
Duration
The SEZ is expected to begin operating next year.
