South Africa Prospects

The transport sector Zanele Makina said is of interest to South Africa. The High Commissioner said she was exploring avenues of sustainable win-win partnership.

Zanele Makina noted; « We see such areas in ports. South Africa has got about four or five of them. We believe that we can learn from each other by collaborating,” Zanele Makina said.
