It is located at the border between Zimbabwe and South Africa. Beitbridge Town is the southernmost town of the country and is in Matabeleland South Province. The name also refers to the Beitbridge Border Post, the busiest inland port of entry in Sub-Saharan Africa. The town, founded in 1929, was for many years the terminus of the railway from Pretoria, until a rail connection to Rutenga was built in 1974.<\/p><p>Beitbridge town was granted its town status in July 2007 through Statutory Instrument 120 of 2007.Previously a Town Board under the Beitbridge Rural District Council administered the town. A Town Council was then established and came into being on the 1st of July 2007. The Town Council area was divided into six wards, each with an elected councillor. Its mandate as a local authority is to provide services to the community of Beitbridge. Almost a decade later after town status, Beitbridge graduated into Municipality status in 2018 through Statutory Instrument 28 of 2018, Proclamation 1 of 2018.<\/p><p>The total coverage of the town is 83square kilometres. The population was estimated at 42 137 inhabitants and 11825 households according to the 2012 national census. The current population is estimated at around 60 000 inhabitants.\u00a0 Due to the proximity of the town to South Africa, most people from the inland districts flock into Beitbridge to do trade and others finally settle for ever.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section

growing urban settlement in terms of both population and urban development.\u00a0Beitbridge is the most populous urban settlement in Matabeleland South Province. As per 2012 Census report, the town is home to 42137 inhabitants-a population that was more than double that of the provincial capital, Gwanda (20227). Beitbridge urban population has been doubling every ten years for the past two decades (11 000 in 1992 and 42137 in 2012). At this growth rate, it was estimated to be about 60000 in 2017 and to be at around 80000 in 2022. More than half of the urban population in Matabeleland South (80162) stays in Beitbridge (42137). It is noteworthy that the town is growing in terms of population, physical development and service delivery potential in light of the fact that it acquired town status in2007 and municipality status in 2018. As the youthful municipality develops, investors are invited to partake and to further fuel its growth taking advantage of its guaranteed capacity to grow.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-tab-title elementor-tab-mobile-title\" aria-selected=\"false\" data-tab=\"2\" role=\"tab\" tabindex=\"-1\" aria-controls=\"elementor-tab-content-2202\" aria-expanded=\"false\">Houses the Busiest border post<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"elementor-tab-content-2202\" class=\"elementor-tab-content elementor-clearfix\" data-tab=\"2\" role=\"tabpanel\" aria-labelledby=\"elementor-tab-title-2202\" tabindex=\"0\" hidden=\"hidden\"><p>The town houses the busiest border post in Sub-Saharan Africa. Around 3000 vehicles and 14000 people pass through the port of entry on a daily basis and thus it realizes more economic activity. The port of entry receives around 800 trucks, 100 buses and 1500 small vehicles on a daily basis making it a hive of activity. Innumerable opportunities for investors thus exist- for example offering services such as truck parking; retail facilities and tourism services to travelers and tourists.<\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-tab-title elementor-tab-mobile-title\" aria-selected=\"false\" data-tab=\"3\" role=\"tab\" tabindex=\"-1\" aria-controls=\"elementor-tab-content-2203\" aria-expanded=\"false\">Special Economic Zone<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"elementor-tab-content-2203\" class=\"elementor-tab-content elementor-clearfix\" data-tab=\"3\" role=\"tabpanel\" aria-labelledby=\"elementor-tab-title-2203\" tabindex=\"0\" hidden=\"hidden\"><p>According to the Special Economic Act chapter ( 14:34) General Notice 747 of 2018, stand number 518\u00a0 Beitbridge also known as Beitbridge Export Zone Area, measuring 106 hectares situated in Beitbridge Municipality area has been declared a Special Economic Zone.

This is an advantage in that South Africa has the largest economy in Africa and it gives the platform to access goods for distribution across Africa. More so, Beitbridge also serves as an inland port for such imports as vehicles and goods. This provides an opportunity to access raw materials and other semi-finished products from South Africa at low cost for either industrial or commercial establishment in Beitbridge.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-tab-title elementor-tab-mobile-title\" aria-selected=\"false\" data-tab=\"5\" role=\"tab\" tabindex=\"-1\" aria-controls=\"elementor-tab-content-2205\" aria-expanded=\"false\">Ready labor force<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"elementor-tab-content-2205\" class=\"elementor-tab-content elementor-clearfix\" data-tab=\"5\" role=\"tabpanel\" aria-labelledby=\"elementor-tab-title-2205\" tabindex=\"0\" hidden=\"hidden\"><p>Given the estimated economically active population which was more than half of the total population in 2012 (25 205), and the obtaining scenario where most of economical active people are either unemployed or informal employed, it is apparent that the labour force is lying latent in Beitbridge Municipality. This is an opportunity in case of urban development projects, new retail and manufacturing industrial development. This therefore means that in terms of labour force, Beitbridge has enough manpower, which in turn can become customers in the event that they are employed.\u00a0The high proportion of the active is a &#8216;population bonus&#8217;, which if carefully tapped may contribute to economic advancement of the Municipality. If not tapped, the situation degenerates in a social breakdown.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-tab-title elementor-tab-mobile-title\" aria-selected=\"false\" data-tab=\"6\" role=\"tab\" tabindex=\"-1\" aria-controls=\"elementor-tab-content-2206\" aria-expanded=\"false\">Well networked <\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"elementor-tab-content-2206\" class=\"elementor-tab-content elementor-clearfix\" data-tab=\"6\" role=\"tabpanel\" aria-labelledby=\"elementor-tab-title-2206\" tabindex=\"0\" hidden=\"hidden\"><p>Beitbridge offers standard road and rail networks that have proved very useful for importers and exporters.

This is complimented by railway lines that link the above mentioned towns with Beitbridge and also go as far as Durban. The Beitbridge-Bulawayo Railway also has a passenger and goods train.

This is a monumental investment opportunity since adequate water supply will not only cover basic consumptive use but can potentially cater for industrial development; commercial development and greening purposes which give our town a better image.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-33 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-7c18749\" data-id=\"7c18749\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-638276b elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"638276b\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Opportuntites in Beitbridge <\/h2>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-0585ed0 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"0585ed0\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<ul><li><p><strong>Tourism Infrastructure and opportunities<\/strong><\/p><\/li><li><p><strong>Availability of land and stands<\/strong><\/p><\/li><li><p><strong>Manufacturing Opportunities<\/strong><\/p><\/li><li><p><strong>Agricultural Opportunities<\/strong><\/p><\/li><li><p><strong>Small and Medium Enterprises<\/strong><\/p><\/li><li><p><strong>Quarry Opportunities<\/strong><\/p><\/li><li><strong>Solid Waste Management<\/strong><\/li><\/ul>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-6e15a90 elementor-align-center elementor-widget elementor-widget-button\" data-id=\"6e15a90\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"button.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-button-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t<a class=\"elementor-button elementor-button-link elementor-size-sm\" href=\"#\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-content-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-text\">download opportunities booklet<\/span>\n\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Welcome to Beitbridge Town The Municipality, Beitbridge, is named after Alfred Beit, a British citizen who founded the De Beers diamond mining company.
