Introduction to Basic Information and Major Ports of South Africa
To conduct international trade in South Africa, you must understand some basic information about the country, rather than the main ports?
The Republic of South Africa, abbreviated as South Africa, is an African country located in southern Africa and is known as the "Rainbow Country". South Africa is the only country in the world with three capitals: the administrative capital (the seat of the central government) is Pretoria, the judicial capital (the seat of the Supreme Court) is Bloemfontein, and the legislative capital (the seat of the parliament) is Cape Town.
South Africa is located at the southernmost point of the African continent, with latitudes ranging from 22 to 35 S and longitudes ranging from 17 to 33 E. To the east, west, and south are the Indian Ocean, Atlantic Ocean, and Southern Ocean, with a coastline of 3000 kilometers. The Prince Edward Islands, located 1920 kilometers southeast of Cape Town in the Atlantic Ocean, are also part of South African territory. It borders the Republic of Namibia, the the Republic of Botswana, the Republic of Zimbabwe, the Republic of Mozambique and the Kingdom of Eswatini in the north, and the Kingdom of Lesotho, a "country within a country". The Cape of Good Hope is located at the southwestern tip of Africa.
The first railway in South Africa started in Cape Town in 1959 and ended in Willington. With the development of gold mines, the railway was rapidly constructed. In 2008, the Republic of South Africa had 20872 kilometers of narrow gauge railways, each measuring 3.5 feet (42 inches). By 1970, approximately 11% of the railways had been electrified. The highway is 362099 kilometers long, with only 73506 kilometers paved with asphalt. Due to the lack of inland shipping in this area, and the availability of sea freight between ports, there may not be a railway connection, such as the lack of direct land transportation links between the ports of Derban and East London.
South Africa has 12 ports, including 6 main ports. South African ports mainly include Cape Town, Durban, East London, Johannesburg, Port Elizabeth, Pretoria, and South African ports. The specific introduction is as follows:
