Why invest in South Africa
Strategic Location
South Africa's seven commercial ports form by far the largest, best equipped and most efficient network on the African continent, handling 500 million tons of cargo annually.
They function as strategic trans-shipment hubs for traffic between Europe, Asia, the Americas and Africa. The phenomenal growth in airline traffic since 1994, through the major international airports in Johannesburg, Durban and Cape Town, is due to the rapid growth of both tourism and business travel.
South Africa is ideally positioned for access to the 14 countries in the Southern Africa Development Community (SADC) with a total population of over 180 million people.
Most imports into SADC are manufactured in or transported via South Africa. Well-developed roads and rail links provide the platform and infrastructure for good transportation deep into sub-Saharan Africa.
