Namibia pushes itself as SADC gateway

WITH THE Sesheke Bridge due to open and provide the first-ever direct connection between Namibia and Zambia, Namibia is selling itself even more as the SADC gateway to Europe and the Americas, reports The Namibian. The Walvis Bay Corridor Group (WBCG) has just been whipping up interest in Zambia - which currently uses Dar-es-Salaam and Durban for its exports. Through the corridor, said the WBCG, Zambia - with the UK as its main trading partner - has an opportunity for an alternative route.
