Opinion: Malawi's Shire -Zambezi Water Way Can be Economically Vital as Egypt's Suez Canal
By: Bright Malenga, Chief Editor.
Landlocked Malawi still has a chance of boosting economy using water transport just as how Egypt made it using a man-made marvel, Suez Canal, connecting Mediterranean and Red sea.
From zero, Egypt turned things around by becoming the centre of International trade using the canal.
The scenario can be the same in Malawi despite being a landlocked country. The Shire- Zambezi Water Way project which was pioneered by Late President Bingu Wa Mutharika is a ladder that can make Malawi a centre of trade if all procedures can be followed to make it start functioning.
I am not much interested in establishing what made the project to hit snag but what I need is to see all thorns sorrounding the project removed and let it start contributing to Malawi's economy.
Suez Canal has several ports such as Port Said which is the centre of International trade.
Suez Canal it is one of most usable man made canal just as Panama canal.
It is not too late for Malawi government to clear the dust around the Shire-Zambezi Water Way project which has Nsanje Inland Port because a journey of one thousand miles began with a mile and Egypt proved that using Suez Canal.
