2/82LCA - Zimbabwe (2007)
1. Background and General Information
1.1.1. Geographic Location:
Zimbabwe is situated in the southern part of the continent of Africa between latitudes 15º 30’
and 22º 30’ South of the Equator and between longitudes 25ºand 33º 10’ East. It is bordered by
Mozambique to the East, South Africa to the South, Botswana to the West and Zambia to the
North and Northwest. Zimbabwe is completely landlocked. It’s only natural frontiers are the
Zambezi river in the North and Limpopo and Shoshi rivers in the South.
Zimbabwe has 10 provinces (Bulawayo, Harare, Manicaland, Mashonaland Central,
Mashonalan East, Mashonaland West, Masvingo, Matabeleland North, Matabeleland South,
Midlands) subdivided in 60 districts.
The principal physical feature is the high plateau, the "high veld" that runs from south-west to
north-east across the whole country from Plumtree through Gweru and Marondera to Nyanga.
This plateau is 650 km. long, 80 km. wide and lies mostly at an altitude between 1200 and 1500
metres above sea level. On each side of this central spine sloping down northward to the
Zambezi River and southward to the Limpopo River lies a wider plateau, the "middle veld" with
an altitude between 600 and 1200 metres. Beyond this, mostly in the south, where the Save,
Runde and Mwenezi rivers drain, lies the "low veld". This low veld consists of the Limpopo and
Save basin in the South and the Zambezi valley in the North and the altitude is below 600
metres.
The areas have undulating plateaux with surfaces broken by rock formation, some quite large:
the great Dyke is more than 480 kilometres long and approximately 10 kilometres wide. The
Mozambique border constitutes a fourth region known as the Eastern Highlands. This area
marks the uplifted edge of the tableland of south central Africa and is extremely mountainous
with many peaks exceeding 1800 metres and the Inyangani reaching 2594 metres.
The three major river systems are the Zambezi River in the North, the Save in the East, and the
Limpopo in the South. Transport-wise these rivers have little if no significance. Barge/ferry
transport on the lake Kariba in the North is possible between Binga and Kariba. It is also
3/82LCA - Zimbabwe (2007)
technically possible to ship chrome ore from Harare via Mazoe affluent and the Zambezi River
into Mozambique but this mode of transport has been discontinued.
Zimbabwe’s main natural resources include: coal, chromium ore, asbestos, gold, nickel,
copper, iron ore, vanadium, lithium, tin, platinum group metals.
1.1.2. Borders:
Zimbabwe is completely landlocked. Total land boundaries are 3,066 km. As already
mentioned, Zimbabwe is bordered by Mozambique to the East (1,231 km), South Africa to the
South (225 km), Botswana to the West (813 km) and Zambia to the North and Northwest (797
km).
The main entry points that can be utilized for overland receipt for Zimbabwe are:
1. Beitbridge (South Africa border)
2. Forbes (Mozambique border)
3. Nyamapanda (Mozambique border), for purchases from Malawi and Mozambique
4. Chirundu (Zambia border), for purchases from Zambia
5. Victoria Falls (Zambia border), for purchases from Zambia
6. Plumtree (Botswana border) for purchases from South Africa
7. Kariba (Zambia border) for purchases from Zambia.
1.1.3. Languages:
English is the official language of the country and of the commercial sector. Shona, Sindebele
(language of Ndebele), Zulu and other minor tribal languages are also spoken
1.1.4. Country Size:
Total area: 390,580 sq km
Land area: 386,670 sq km
Water: 3,910 sq km
1.1.5. Population:
Estimated population: 12,311,143 (CIA, The World Factbook). Estimates explicitly take into
account the effects of excess mortality due to AIDS; this can result in lower life expectancy,
higher infant mortality and death rates, lower population and growth rates, and changes in the
distribution of population by age and sex than would otherwise be expected.
Life expectancy at birth is 39,5 years (40,62 years for males and 38,35 for females), the
estimated percentage of the population with HIV/AIDS is 24,6%.
The percentage of the population in the 0-14 years age group is 37,2% (male 2,308,731 –
female 2,266,027), 15-64 years is 59,3% (male 3,663,108 – female 3,641,519), 65 years and over
are only 3,5% of the total population (male 198,867 – female 232,891).
Population growth rate is 0,595%, the fertility rate 3.08 children born/woman.
1.1.6. Ethnic Groups:
Most Zimbabwean are of Bantu origin; 9,8 million belong to various Shona groups (82% of the
population) and about 2,3 million are Ndebele (14%). The remainder are divided between the
Tonga (or Batonga) people of the upper Kariba area, the Shangaan (or Hlengwe) of the
Lowveld, and the Venda of the far South. Europeans (18,000), plus Asians (10,000) and mixed
European and Africans (25,000) are scattered around the country.
1.1.7. Religions:
4/82LCA - Zimbabwe (2007)
The majority of Zimbabweans are Christian, although traditional spiritual beliefs are still
practiced, especially in rural areas. Muslim and other represent around 1%.
1.1.8. Types of Food Consumed:
The national staple is sadza, the white maize meal porridge most local are raised on. The
second component of the Zimbabwean diet is meat (or nyama).
Other commonly consumed types of food include rice, beans, lentils, peas, Corn Soya Blend,
Sorghum, bulgur wheat.
Popular fish include bream and the whitebait-like dried kapenta from the lake Kariba and trout
from rivers and dams in the Eastern Highlands
1.1.9. Political History:
The UK annexed Southern Rhodesia from the [British] South Africa Company in 1923. A 1961
constitution was formulated that favored whites in power. In 1965 the government unilaterally
declared its independence, but the UK did not recognize the act and demanded more
complete voting rights for the black African majority in the country (then called Rhodesia). UN
sanctions and a guerrilla uprising finally led to free elections in 1979 and independence (as
Zimbabwe) in 1980. Robert Mugabe, the nation's first prime minister, has been the country's only
ruler (as president since 1987) and has dominated the country's political system since
independence. His land redistribution campaign, which began in 2000, caused an exodus of
white farmers and a sharp decline in the agricultural production. Since 2002 all the elections
have been characterized by protests, strikes and accusations of repressions to the ruling ZANU-
PF party. In April 2005, Harare embarked on Operation Restore Order, ostensibly an urban
rationalization program, which resulted in the destruction of the homes or businesses of 700,000
mostly poor people, according to UN estimates.
1.1.10. Current Political Situation:
Zimbabwe has been ruled by one party – the Zimbabwe African National Union – Patriotic Front
(ZANU-PF), led by President Robert Mugabe - since independence in 1980. Elections are due to
take place in March 2008. Economic crisis is increasing. Government is trying to slow down the
ever growing inflation with measures such the enforced price-cuts and stricter controls on
import of groceries.
President Mugabe is pressing a law through parliament in the coming weeks that will require all
businesses to be at least 51% Zimbabwean owned and managed.
Zanu-PF has dressed up the move as an affirmative action measure to help previously
disadvantaged black people. But firms will not be able to choose their new partners. They will
be selected by the government. The measure will be paid for by taxing the same businesses
forced to hand over control. The moves could pave the way for the ruling party and military to
take over the economy completely. At the moment the military is already in charge of railways
and grain marketing and the electoral process.

Key Economic Indicators for Zimbabwe, 2000-2007
Zimbabwe’s economic decline continues unabated. The country’s economy has been
shrinking each year for about a decade now with the real gross domestic product (GDP)
shrinking by about 42 percent between 1998 and 2006. Unemployment and under-
employment are rampant, with urban unemployment especially becoming critical in recent
years. Even before the 2002 crop failure, 75 percent of the country’s population was classified
as poor and about 42 percent as very poor. Poverty has become worse in view of the
consecutive depressed harvests and a phenomenal rise in the cost of living relative to the
Zimbabwe dollar. The poor include small farmers, most of the informal sector workers, former
farm workers, and under-employed. Successive crop failures, severely constraining people’s
coping mechanisms, have compounded people’s deprivation.
According to the policy statement by the Governor of Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe made on 26
April 2007 “the lack of balance of payment support, lack of investment flows and subdued
tourism inflows” have had significant negative impact on the economy.
Inflation figures are shocking every time they are announced as they reach a new high every
month. In January 2006 the consumer price inflation was measured at 613 percent; by April
2007, it had reached a new record of 3714 percent
The exchange rate story mirrors that of inflation. The Zimbabwe dollar was redenominated in
August 2006 when the currency was devalued by 60 percent, three zeros were removed from
the currency and the new official exchange rate with US$ was set at 250:1. This official rate is
still in effect, although different intermediate rates are allowed for certain purposes. The parallel
market exchange rate has gone up from 1,500 in August 2006 to its current (mid-June 2007)
rate of about 130,000. This anomaly has exacerbated the hard-currency shortages in the
official system as much of the incoming foreign exchange finds its way into the parallel market.
2. Seasonal Effects
2.1.1. Climate and Seasons
6/82LCA - Zimbabwe (2007)
Zimbabwe enjoys a temperate climate during the dry season. The cooler, drier months (May to
October) are characterized by warm sunny days and cold clear nights. It never snows, though
overnight frosts and freezing temperatures are not uncommon. The lowveld and the Zambezi
Valley experience hotter and more humid temperatures, but in the winter there is very little
rainfall. Most of Zimbabwe’s rain falls in brief afternoon deluges and electrical storms in the
relatively humid and warmer months from November to April. Zimbabwe has the second-
highest incidence of lightening strikes in the world.
Although Zimbabwe lies wholly within the Tropics, the normal tropical continental climate is
considerably modified by altitude, especially on the central plateau where temperatures are
lower than at sea level in the same latitude. The Eastern Highlands experiences the lowest
temperatures.
The year falls roughly into three seasons: a dry winter, covering the months from April to August,
with cool temperatures especially at night when frost is sometimes experienced; a hot season
with temperatures building up to a maximum in October or early November and a wet season
in which the main rains usually come around mid-November and continue until March.
The main rains are associated with the Inter-Tropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ). The ICTZ, where
the northerly and southerly air masses meet, follows the seasonal movements of the overhead
sun north and south of the Equator, hence the occurrence of the Zimbabwean wet season
during the southern summer. June is the coolest month and October is the warmest:
temperature variations correspond with height.

2.1.2. Calamities
Droughts:
There are recurring period of droughts mainly in the provinces of Masvingo, Matabeleland
South, Matabeleland North and some parts of the Midlands. The normal dry season extends
from April to August but it may sometimes extend till December/January.
In 2007, the combined impacts of adverse weather and severe economic constraints in
Zimbabwe have induced hardship and food insecurity among both rural and urban
populations, especially in areas where the current season’s production losses are greatest.
National cereal production in 2007 is estimated to be 44 percent down on last year’s
government estimate, resulting in a significant national food gap. Those who lost their crops
due to extended dry periods and below-normal rainfall in different parts of the country will be
particularly affected. A joint WFP/FAO crop and food supply assessment mission to Zimbabwe
carried out at the beginning of June estimated a harvest of 799 000 tonnes of maize and 126
000 tonnes of small grains for the main cropping season of 2006/07. Maize output is estimated
to be 46 percent lower than last year and 13 percent lower than the year before. Primary
factors responsible for this decline, in addition to adverse weather, were shortages of key
inputs, deteriorating infrastructure, especially for irrigation, and most importantly, financially
unprofitable prices for most of the government controlled crops. A structural decline in
national agricultural production over the last 6-7 years is also due to the inability by newly
settled farmers to utilize all the prime land allocated to them. The settlement farmers were able
to cultivate only about 30 to 55 percent of their total arable land owing to shortages of
tractor/draught power, fuel, and fertilizers, under-investment in infrastructure/improvements,
lack of incentive because of price controls, and absenteeism on the part of settler
7/82LCA - Zimbabwe (2007)
beneficiaries. Following the land reform programme, based on CSO data, the large-scale
commercial sector now produces less than one-tenth of the maize that it produced in the
1990s. Large-scale commercial maize production now accounts for less than 5 percent of the
country’s total maize production.
Based on the Mission’s estimates, domestic availability of cereals for consumption in 2007/08 is
about 1.287 million tonnes, and the total utilization of cereals 2.339 million tonnes including
1.928 million tonnes for direct human consumption using the GOZ/CSO projected population of
11.83 million. The resulting cereal import requirement is estimated at 1.052 million tonnes, of
which maize deficit accounts for 813 000 tonnes.
Floods:
Floods are less severe and less frequent. However the low-lying lands along the Zambezi River
and its tributaries (Northern part of Mashonaland West and Mashonaland Central provinces)
are prone to floods.
Civil strife:
The increasingly difficult economic situation and the impossibility for people’s salaries to keep
up with inflation, the increasing unavailability of basic commodities in the shops have created
a situation in which most of the population is really struggling to survive. Salaries are already
completely absorbed by the cost of transport, leaving people with not enough money to buy
even basic commodities.
The acute food shortage in vast areas of the country could lead to protests and civil unrest,
despite the strict police controls over any gathering and the widespread fear among
population.
Zimbabwe runs a serious risk of economic collapse, with unpredictable consequences on
public order.
2.1.3. Seasonal effects on Transport
The seasonal effects on transport are minimal in Zimbabwe. During heavy downpours
secondary roads can become locally impracticable for a short period of time. Transport can
temporarily be disrupted in the path of a cyclone or a tropical storm (January / February).
Some bridges have been devastated in Manicaland as a result of the El Nino (1998) and Eline
(2000) cyclones. But otherwise transport operations inside and outside Zimbabwe are not very
much affected by the seasons.
Severe rains may disrupt the road transport operations along the Beira corridor (Pungwe River
and Pungwe Plains). Long and heavy rains can in Mozambique, also affect the Limpopo
railway line.
Roads and railways normally get busier during harvest time, where there is an increase of traffic
and heavy vehicles on the roads, but because of the current economic situation and the low
crop it is not foreseeable to see congestions on the roads.
It is to be taken into consideration, though, that the decrease in the number of vehicles
available as a consequence of the economic crisis might in the long run become a problem
when contracting transporters. In fact, at the moment, considerable portions of the
transporters’ fleets are idle because of lack of business or difficulties in procuring fuel, which in
the long run might force them to reduce the number of vehicles and therefore impact
availability of trucks, with obvious impacts on transport costs as well.
2.1.4. Seasonal affects on Commodity Handling and Storage
As detailed in chapter 13 – storage facilities – some of the warehouses can sometimes
experience difficult weather conditions: very high temperatures in Beitbridge and heavy rains in
Mutare. Measures are in place to mitigate any risks, but it is recommendable to try and avoid
stocking commodities in adverse conditions for too long.

Possible issues / constraints to take into consideration:
• Fuel shortages – unavailability of fuel makes it difficult for the Ministries involved to arrange for the inspectors to travel to inspect the goods and pick the
samples, creating consequent delays
• Shortage of foreign currency – pre-shipment inspections are carried out by the Government inspectors in the country of origin of the goods. Lack of
foreign currency is a major cause of delay in arranging such visits
• Power cuts – as any other activity, also the timeliness of the analysis is affected by unreliable power supply.

Port Name Port of Durban
Latitude (N/S Decimal Degrees) 29º 52'S
Longitude (E/W Decimal
Degrees) 31º 02'E
The port is 680 nautical miles north-east of Cape Agulhas and occupies the natural expanse of
Durban Bay - an area of 1850ha, with the water area being 892ha in extent at high tide and
679ha at low. From the Point to the opposite side of the entrance channel on the Bluff is 21km,
with the emerging Point waterfront development and central business district to the north and
northeast, Maydon Wharf in the west, the Bayhead ship repair area in the south and the Bluff
Peninsular forming the southeast.
5.1.2. Capacity
The port has a total of 59 effective berths excluding those used by fishing vessels and ship
repair. The bay also has an inner anchorage. A single buoy mooring at Isipingo on the
southeast side of the Bluff caters for very large crude carriers (VLCC) that are too large to enter
the port. Proposals are being studied to extend the harbour deeper into the Bayhead
headwaters where several large container terminals will be built. It is hoped to
commence construction by 2010.
A total of 302km of rail tracks extends throughout the port area along with several major
marshalling yards.
The port of Durban performs a critical role within the city of Durban. It services its own industrial
and commercial region (the second largest in SA), in addition to much of SA's hinterland
including the majority of Gauteng traffic and a significant amount of traffic for neighbouring
countries such as Zimbabwe, Zambia, Botswana, Malawi.
19/82LCA - Zimbabwe (2007)
In response to demand the port of Durban is creating more container handling facilities
including a second container terminal on Pier One which commenced operations in 2007,
but space will continue to be reserved for breakbulk and bulk cargoes. The port is served with
excellent rail and road links to Gauteng in the west and points south and north.
The port of Durban operates 24 hours a day 365 days a year. The entrance channel has a
depth of 12.8m from Chart Datum. The channel width is 122m but plans are advanced
to widen the channel by a further 100m commencing in 2007 or 2008. During daylight ships are
supposedly restricted to 243.8m length with a maximum width of 35m and a draught of 11.9m,
or 12.2m according to tide and harbour master's clearance. Larger vessels are common and
ships up to 300m length and 37m beam are regular callers in Durban. Night restrictions are for a
ship length of 200m and a beam of 26m, maximum draught of 11.6m. The harbour master has
to be consulted for permission regarding larger vessels.
The largest ships to have entered Durban harbour were in the region of 230,000 dwt but even
larger vessels are catered for in the outer anchorage. On two occasions in recent years the
largest vessel afloat, the 564,650-dwt ULCC tanker Jahre Viking, which has a length of 458m
and a beam of 69m underwent repairs or survey while at anchor at the Outer Anchorage off
Durban.
Pilotage is compulsory for all vessels from a point three n.miles northeast of the port entrance,
with a helicopter performing most pilot transfers, backed up by pilot boat when the helicopter
is unavailable. Navigation is subject to VTS (vessels tracking service system) controlled from the
Millennium Tower on the Bluff including all shipping movements inside port limits. Tug assistance
is required. Draught within the port varies according to location.
The port has embarked on a project of widening and deepening the entrance channel to
enable safer access and access to larger ships. The widened channel will have a width of
220m and a minimum depth of 16m. Work on completing this project is expected to be
completed by the end of 2009.
The port operates a fleet of tugs owned and operated by the National Ports Authority (NPA). Six
of these are Schottel type with bollard pull between 34t and 41t - Umzumbe (ex Otto Buhr),
Umsunduzi (ex Dupel Erasmus), Umvoti (ex Bertie Groenewald), Nonoti (ex Jannie Oelofsen),
Inyalazi (ex Piet Aucamp), and Umhlali (ex Bart Grove). Later type tugs of a new series of Voith
Schneider 49t bollard pull and built at SA Shipyards in Durban began to be introduced from
2001. The two stationed at Durban are named uThukela and Mkhuze.
Each tug is maintained to SAMSA class 8 standard and is equipped for fire fighting and
salvage. The fleet handles in excess of 800 ship movements each month and four tugs are
usually on duty during daylight hours and two at night. The port also employs one work
boat/tug of the Tern class, Royal Tern, which has a bollard pull of 18.7 tons. An Agusta A109 K2
'HPS' twin-engine 8-seat helicopter operated by Balmoral Maintenance Services provides
pilotage services. A diesel-powered pilot boat named Tsitsikama operates when the helicopter
service is unavailable.
Dredging is performed by the NPA on an ongoing basis in the port and immediately outside the
entrance to counter the littoral drift that would otherwise recreate the infamous Bar across the
entrance channel. The major work is conducted by a trailing suction hopper dredger named
Piper (ex RE Jones), with the dredged sand deposited into a reclamation point on the northern
breakwater, from where it is dispersed by the municipality along Durban's northern beaches.
Piper loads 2,500 cubic metres at a time.
Other dredgers include the bed leveller dredger named Impisi (ex LL Varley), which operates
by dragging a plough across the seabed to move accumulated silt against the wharfside into
the adjacent channel. The channels are kept clear with the grab dredger, Crane (ex JF Craig),
which uses a grab attached to a crane on the vessel. Crane and Piper also operate at East
London and Port Elizabeth.
The port of Durban handles the greatest volume of sea-going traffic of any port in southern
20/82LCA - Zimbabwe (2007)
Africa. For the 2006/07 financial year ended 31 March 2007, the Port of Durban handled a total
of 4,545 sea-going ships with a gross tonnage of 97,453,430 or about 32 percent of the ships

oil and petroleum products but excluded containers, which are calculated by the port
authority in TEUs only and not by mass. 2.335 million TEUs were handled in Durban during
2006/07 and may be calculated as the equivalent of 26,406,000 tonnes (av 13.5t) which should
be included with the gross figure above, giving the port a total tonnage of 73,006 million tonnes
of cargo handled.
Total tonnage handled by the port (including the calculation for containers) constituted
43,231,702t of imports, 22,397,568t of exports and 7,377,166t of transshipment cargo giving a
total tonnage for the port of 73,074,436 tonnes.

exports were 6,678,956t, and transshipments totaled 126,352t.
Break bulk cargo totaled 7,764,911 tonnes, of which imports were 4,355,419t, exports 3,173,400t,
and transshipments 236,092t.
The combined Durban container terminals handled 2,334,999 TEUs (twenty foot equivalents)
during 2006/07 of which imports were 865,087 exports were 899,454 and 519,609 were
transshipped. 50,849 TEUs were shipped coastwise. Containers handled at Durban represented
65 percent of the total number of containers handled at South African ports.
The Durban Car Terminal - the country's largest import and export facility for the motor industry -
handled 386,062 motor units during the fiscal year 2005/06 (278,000 for 2005/06 and 214,000 for
2004/05).
