A Chinese consortium will take over, for 25 years, the concession to manage the Machipanda One-Stop Border Post in Mozambique, with the Government saying it will modernise and expand what is one of the main border crossings between Mozambique and Zimbabwe.
According to Decree No. 53/2026 of the Council of Ministers, the concession was awarded to the commercial company Terminal Internacional Rodoviário de Machipanda, established by the Union Portlink and Zhongmei consortium and by the Roads Fund, FP, covering an area of 88.96 hectares at the border crossing in Manica province, central Mozambique.The decree establishes the legal basis for the concession, under a public-private partnership, for the construction, operation, maintenance and management, and subsequent handover to the State, of the infrastructure of the Integrated Machipanda Border Modernisation and Expansion Project.
Approval of the terms of the concession confirms the decision taken by the Council of Ministers on 28 July, when the body’s spokesperson explained at the end of the meeting that the decree “establishes the legal basis for granting a concession to a private operator” for the “construction, operation, maintenance, management and handover to the State of the infrastructure of the integrated Machipanda border modernisation and expansion project”.
