South Africa’s biggest wildlife reserve and some local businesses are opposing plans for a new privately operated trucks-only border crossing aimed at speeding up mineral exports to ports in neighboring Mozambique. The Logistics Co., indirectly owned by Old Mutual’s African Infrastructure Investment Managers, plans to open a new route at Komatipoort, the main land crossing from South Africa en route to Maputo, the Mozambican capital. The development will be on the southeastern boundary of the Kruger National Park, closer to the reserve than the current crossing.

“Our concerns are around the negative impact this proposal will have on the environment, biodiversity and the protected area of the Kruger National Park,”, spokesman for the reserve, said by email. The park has submitted its concerns as part of the environmental impact assessment process, he said.
