Musina Local Municipality is located in the northern<br />
part of the Vhembe District Municipality. The<br />
municipality is strategically placed between South<br />
Africa and Zimbabwe and therefore also linked to<br />
other SADC countries, such as Zambia, Mozambique,<br />
Tanzania, Malawi and Kenya.<br />
Musina Municipality is connected to the Kruger<br />
National Park in the east, Gauteng to the south and<br />
Botswana to the west. It is linked to the major centres<br />
in South Africa via the N1 route to Pretoria and<br />
Johannesburg.<br />

Musina SEZ<br />
The Zimbabwe link is one of the busiest roads in<br />
Africa. This position and economic importance provides<br />
various opportunities to be explored by the SEZ.<br />
Location advantages<br />
• Close proximity to mineral resources required<br />
for the production of steel and petrochemicals<br />
• Proximity to the border between SA and<br />
Zimbabwe that results in good access to the<br />
SADC market and cross-border trade activity<br />
• Ideal location on the main north-south N1 corridor,<br />
which enables strong logistics drivers in support<br />
of the envisaged logistics cluster<br />
• High possibility for intermodal facilities involving<br />
road and rail, including transfer of cargo from<br />
road to rail<br />
• Agriculture support industries, including fertiliser<br />
plants based on the proximity to Foskor in<br />
Phalaborwa<br />
