Project Details

Vision

Lubumbashi, with an estimated metro area population is of 2.5 million and growing at more than 4% per year, is ranked among the 30 fastest-growing cities in the world.

The first private SEZ in DRC, Kiswishi is a new city development zoned for light industrial, commercial, residential, retail, social and recreational facilities.

Underlying Kiswishi’s design is a visionary concept aiming to shift urban development in DRC from the familiar single node model to a decentralised urban environment. By doing so, Kiswishi SEZ will significantly de-congest the city of Lubumbashi by offering a unique live, work and play environment.

History

In 2012, through Geniland SA, Rendeavour, Africa’s largest new city builder, acquired 4,400 hectares of land on the outskirts of Lubumbashi to create a new city in DRC.
