Maputo Province

Doing business and living in Matola

Matola sits immediately west of Maputo and carries much of the region's industry, warehousing and port-related activity.

Business and economy

Manufacturing, processing, bulk handling and logistics operations cluster here because of the port terminals and the corridor to South Africa. Companies choose Matola for space, industrial premises and proximity to the capital's institutions.

Living in Matola

Housing is generally more affordable than central Maputo and often larger, which suits families willing to commute. Day-to-day services are improving, but most expatriate schooling and specialist healthcare remains in Maputo.
