MOZ REMOVES TRADE BOTTLENECKS
EZULWINI – The State visit by Mozambique President Filipe Nyusi is bearing fruits already.
During an Eswatini-Mozambique business forum held yesterday at the Convention Centre banqueting hall yesterday, practical solutions on how trade between the two neighbouring countries could be enhanced were discussed and laid bare.
The forum was opened jointly by President Nyusi and Prime Minister Ambrose Mandvulo Dlamini.
Among these discussions was a concern raised by local businesspeople regarding a fee that is charged for trucks that are either bringing goods into Eswatini from Mozambique or transporting goods from Eswatini to Mozambique.
It was felt that this charge, which is reportedly in the region of E1 500, was too much and needed to be revisited because it was crippling to businesses.
Mozambique’s Transport and Communications Minister, Carlos Alberto Fortes Mesquita, acknowledged existence of this charge and said there were moves to review it.

“This is being implemented trough a decree by a council of ministers but we are working on towards revising this fee and will soon come up with a solution. The duty fees will be reduced and new ones which are lower than the current ones being charged will be implemented,” the minister said.
Another concern raised by the businesspeople was a complaint on the high fees that were being charged by the Eswatini Revenue Authority for the importing of goods from Mozambique to Eswatini.
“We find ourselves having to look for these goods far away in South Africa yet we could be sourcing them right next door in Mozambique. We really need Mozambique to talk to their Eswatini counterparts to lower the fees charged when we import from Mozambique,” said one businessman.
Another businessman complained that there were charges that had been effected on charcoal and chicken feed when these were imported into Eswatini from Mozambique.
