Description
Description | The Musina-Makhado Special Economic Zone (MMSEZ) is a mega industrial park project in Limpopo, South Africa, launched in 2018. It consists of two sites: Artonvilla near Musina for light manufacturing, and Mopani near Makhado for heavy industry. The project aims to attract R40 billion in investments and develop state-of-the-art logistics and industrial facilities. However, as of 2025, the project has stalled with no completed infrastructure such as roads, electricity, or water, despite spending on consultants and partial construction work. Only one company has made a firm investment commitment. The project faces challenges including land transfer issues, environmental opposition, and disputes with contractors. |
