Mbombela is the Lowveld's capital and a stop on the N4 Maputo Corridor, the freight route between Gauteng and Mozambique. Trucks heading to and from the border at Komatipoort break down on the long climbs, and the escarpment section west of town, near Schoemanskloof and Montrose, can be steep and winding.
