In July, DP World announced that major dredging works at the Port of Ndayane, in Senegal, had been completed 13 months ahead of schedule, supporting plans to complete the $1.2-billion port during 2028. The works included dredging a 5-km navigation channel, turning basin and berth pocket capable of accommodating the world's largest container vessels. Once operational, the port will serve as Senegal's principal deep-water container gateway, increasing capacity for international trade and strengthening the country's role as a logistics hub for West Africa.

MISPLACED ANGER: South Africa’s border management and enforcement have been abysmal. But the recent rhetoric, marches, episodes of violent intimidation, and scenes of vulnerable foreign nationals fleeing the country have rightly damaged South Africa’s image abroad, especially across the rest of Africa. This scapegoating is also largely misplaced, with illegal immigrants taking the blame for a series of societal failures, from poor governance to corruption, over which they have little to no influence.
