“Improved port connectivity with rail networks and better logistics performance are strongly associated with trade expansion, export diversification, ability to attract foreign direct investments and economic growth.” This is according to The Port Management Association for Eastern and Southern Africa Secretary General, Nozipho Mdawe. Mdawe continues saying that the high logistics costs of freight rail is one of the main logistics challenges that Africa faces and by reducing cost and enhancing freight logistics between ports and rail, existing business will grow whilst attracting new business and enhancing opportunities for diversification. . Appointed in 2015 as the first female Secretary General, Mdawe joined PMAESA with a wealth of experience from South Africa's giant freight logistic chain, Transnet with exposure in Port Terminals and Aviation (the then unit of Transnet - SAA) and lastly, Freight Rail, where she was General Manager for the Mineral Mining and Chrome Business.
