Mozambique offers ‘endless’ opportunities

Project work in
Mozambique is on
the increase, says
Mahaveerprasad Chavda, CEO
of Chavda & Associates.
With a lot of mining interest
in the country opportunities are
endless – especially when it
comes to project cargo.
“There is a lot of construction
that is starting as a result of the
various developments taking
place.”
According to Chavda the
main challenge around project
cargo however still remains
the arranging of the necessary
machinery, vehicles and
handling equipment pertaining
to the type of cargo being
transported.
“More often than not very
specialised equipment is
necessary as well as very
particular skills and knowledge,
while experience goes a long
way.”
He believes prepping for
a job is therefore of utmost
importance as it ensures that
everything is put into place,
necessary vehicles are arranged,
required machinery is already
on standby so one is assured
of smooth and hassle-free
transportation.
He says it is important that
South Africans develop their
skills and ensure they are in a
position to meet the required
needs of project cargo as the
sector is growing steadily, not
just in Mozambique but also in
southern Africa as a whole.
“There is a lot of
development with new airports,
roads, railways and seaports
being built and upgraded.”
