Swaziland is envied with her strategic location in Southern Africa. The country is able to reach regional markets hassle-free, and on top of that boasts one of the best infrastructures in Africa. There are inter-linkages in terms of telecommunications, rail and road networks, which connect with SADC, COMESA and beyond. Exporting products from Swaziland is made easier by the proximity of seaports and the existence of an inland rdy port within the country. The Maputo seaport sits some 180km from Swaziland whilst Durban and Richards Bay seaports are just 600km and 400km away, respectively.
