EU INVESTMENT ROADSHOW IN SOUTH AFRICA

South Africa’s is well positioned to play a catalytic role in advancing regional and global integration, particularly in sectors such as transport, logistics, and maritime development, which are fundamental enablers of trade-led growth.

This Roadshow is taking place at an opportune moment for South Africa to leverage and attract strategic partners and investors to assist with intent to improve efficiencies and predictability in regional transport and logistics systems.

It cannot be that the port system of South Africa with eight commercial ports along the 3,000KM coastline, a good road network of about one hundred and sixty thousand kilometers (160,000KMs) and our strategic intent to move cargo from roads to rail still faces several operational challenges whereas we have willingness from the global network of investors to partner with.

EU INVESTMENT ROADSHOW IN SOUTH AFRICA

South Africa forms an integral part of the European Union trade partnership with at least 90% of our exports destined for European markets.

The 2016 EU-SADC Economic Partnership Agreement is a key policy framework which provides preferential market access, such that a vast majority of South African goods enter EU markets duty-free or with reduced tariffs.

According to the United Nations COMTRADE database on international trade report, the European Union imports of various commodities in manufacturing, mining, agriculture and others from South Africa was US$23.82 billion in the year 2025.

That alone shows a magnitude of exports to the EU and a significant economic enabler to sustain livelihoods in different sectors.

ROAD SAFETY WINTER CAMPAIGN

FATIGUE KILLS FASTER IN THE COLD

Drivers… winter fatigue creeps in faster than you think. That heater may keep you warm but it can make you drowsy. Crack a window.

Take your rest breaks seriously.

Stay fresh, stay focused.

Because when you’re behind the wheel of a heavy vehicle, fatigue doesn’t just risk your life it risks everyone’s. Stay alert. Stay visible.

Stay safe.

This message is brought to you by the National Department of Transport.

ROAD SAFETY WINTER CAMPAIGN

“Smoke is a Wall”

Drivers… that smoke ahead is not just smoke. It’s a wall, thick, blinding, and deadly.

Never drive into veld fire smoke crossing the highway. You won’t see stopped vehicles until it’s too late.

Pull over. Turn on your hazards. Wait it out. One decision can save lives including yours. See and Be Seen this winter.
