Abstract
ABSTRACT This paper examines the activities and patterns of trade of small entrepreneurs involved in informal cross-border trade between South African and Mozambique and the potential impact of the Maputo Corridor Spatial Development Initiative (SDI) on their businesses. Virtually no mention is made of informal sector cross-border traders in policy documents and analyses of the Corridor, or other South African government policies directed towards increasing regional cooperation and export trade. This paper therefore also explores what traders know about the Maputo Corridor SDI and how they think it will affect their businesses. It suggests that although the Corridor may have a positive impact in some ways, unless other policies, particularly those relating to immigration and customs and excise policies are changed—the potential value of the Corridor to these small and medium enterprises (SMMEs) may be lost.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
