Landlocked Swaziland Seeks to Build Shipping Port

The government of Swaziland has confirmed intentions to build a U.S.$3 billion port and canal though no attempts have been made to consult neighbouring Mozambique over the plans.

Business billionaire Moses Motsa, the project leader, intends to dig a 26 km long canal from the Indian Ocean south of Maputo, west across Mozambique to the town of Mlawula where a harbour big enough to berth four ships at a time will be built (file photo).
