The Minister of Works and Transport called members of the Trans Kalahari Corridor Management Committee to speed up the inauguration of the Trans Kalahari Corridor's headquarters this year.

John Mutorwa made this call during his visit to the Trans-Kalahari Corridor Secretariat in Windhoek.

The visit was aimed at familiarizing him with progress on the implementation of the Memorandum of Understanding between Namibia, Botswana, and South Africa, which was signed in 2003, on the development and management of the Trans-Kalahari Corridor.

The Trans-Kalahari Corridor is a tripartite transboundary corridor management organization established to pursue or contribute towards deeper regional integration programs in SADC and SACU.

Mutorwa commended the Trans Kalahari Corridor secretariat for the roles it plays in ensuring the successful implementation of all activities of the Trans Kalahari Economic Development Corridor.

The Trans Kalahari Corridor, established by Namibia, Botswana, and South Africa, is a road network of about 1900 kilometers, starting from Gauteng Province in South Africa through Kanye in Botswana through to Windhoek and Walvis Bay.

The Corridor is a strategic route of choice that provides a linkage between American and East European markets.
