Direct tar link Kosi Bay to Maputo

The freight route from KwaZulu/Natal to Maputo is due to get faster and shorter by 2014, which is the date set by the government of Mozambique to tar the 130-kilometre stretch, which is currently only passable with a 4x4 vehicle. Nuno Mapossa of the Mozambique Investment Promotion Centre is quoted by a number of publications as saying that the government wants to build a toll road within the next three years. This will be a boost to the Port of Maputo, as it will become more accessible for KwaZulu/Natal North Coast exports and imports.
