Mining, electrical, and industrial
Electra Mining Africa 2028 runs September 4–8 at the Johannesburg Expo Centre, Nasrec. It is South Africa’s main mining and industrial show, so exhibits include mining machines, crushers, pumps, electrical equipment, and stands. From China, cargo usually discharges at Durban and goes up to Johannesburg by road. South Africa accepts the ATA carnet. Yihang Shipping already ships mining equipment to South Africa and names the local party that enters the goods. Yihang is not the South African importer.
