As the former owner of a leading transport company in Southern Africa, I witnessed firsthand the detrimental impact of poor infrastructure on the industry and economies. This drove me to partner with African governments to build and upgrade key transport infrastructure, such as the Beitbridge border post. Through initiatives like ZimBorders and La Frontiere Group, we aim to improve efficiency, reduce congestion, and foster regional trade. These projects not only benefit governments through increased tax revenues but also uplift local communities by creating jobs and raising living standards. Investing in border infrastructure is crucial for facilitating intra-African trade and socioeconomic development. Through public-private partnerships, we can transform Africa’s promise into reality, enabling African talent to thrive and fulfill its potential.
