An office in Gauteng for the Walvis Bay Corridor Group is the next logical step to entice South Africa’s large manufacturers to import and export through the port of Walvis Bay in Namibia.
The Walvis Bay Corridor Group announced this week it will launch its Gauteng branch office on 16 September.
The Walvis Bay Corridor Group is a public-private partnership, which was established in 2000 as a service and facilitation centre to promote imports and exports via the Port of Walvis Bay for the SADC region. “The core benefits to our customers for using the Walvis Bay Corridors are time savings, cost savings, high safety and security standards, and the reliability of the Walvis Bay Corridor Group systems,” said Agnetha Mouton, the group’s Business Development Officer, in the invitation to the launch. “Another key advantage to using the Walvis Bay Corridors is the strategic geographical location of the Port of Walvis Bay on the west coast of southern Africa which allows for the facilitation of trade not only between the SADC region and Europe, but also increasingly with the Americas and the Far East,” she added. The launch will take place on Tuesday, 16 September at the Indaba Hotel, Fourways, Johannesburg at 18h00. The South African Minister of Transport, Jeffrey Radebe and the High Commissioner of Namibia to South Africa, Philemon Kambala, as well as representatives of the Walvis Bay Corridor Group will address the audience. Johnny Smith, the group’s Business Development Executive, will do an overview of opportunities provided through the corridor; Elias Mwenyo, Manager: Sales and Service at Namport will do a presentation on the growth of the port authority while Thabiso Malahleha will talk about developments in the Trans Kalahari Corridor. Chairman of the Walvis Bay Corridor Group, Sebby Kankondi, will wrap up the evening’s proceedings. |
