The All-Africa Expo takes place for the first time on the continent

The African Unite Border Bus Truck Association is calling for the implementation of a one-stop border system following severe traffic congestion outside the Beitbridge Border Post in Musina earlier this week. The traffic backlog, which stretched for approximately 20 km, has been attributed to slow processing times and limited parking capacity on the Zimbabwean side of the border.

The association says the introduction of a one-stop border post system could help ease congestion, improve efficiency and reduce delays at one of the region’s busiest border crossings.

For businesses that rely on cross-border trade, prolonged delays can result in significant costs, including increased fuel consumption, driver overtime, missed delivery deadlines and disruptions to supply chains.

To discuss the cost implications for businesses and what these delays mean for regional trade, Thami Ngubeni spoke to Phumudzo Mukhwathi, Chairperson of the African Unite Border Bus Truck Association.

The programme concludes with Shaila Desai, Head of the Old Mutual Residential Impact Fund, who argues that residential property remains materially underrepresented in institutional investment portfolios.

Desai says pension fund members are already supporting one of the most resilient income streams in the domestic property market as tenants, while their retirement savings remain largely absent from the investment opportunity. She makes the case for greater exposure to multifamily residential property in South African portfolios, highlighting its potential to deliver stable, long-term returns.

In a discussion titled “The growing case for multifamily residential in South African property portfolios”, Desai shared her observations with Thami Ngubeni.
