Frequently asked

Common questions from clients.

Which African markets does Mishonga have direct regulatory experience in?
Mishonga has direct experience across Southern Africa (South Africa, Lesotho, Botswana, Eswatini, Namibia, Zimbabwe), East Africa (Kenya, Tanzania, Uganda), West Africa (Ghana, Nigeria), and North Africa advisory. For markets where Mishonga has not previously operated, engagements are structured with in-country legal and regulatory counsel managed from South Africa.
Can Mishonga manage the full market entry process, not just regulatory?
Yes. Mishonga's market access practice covers the full entry lifecycle — regulatory pathway mapping, dossier strategy, distribution partner identification, commercial agreement structuring, and tender management. This integrated approach is particularly valuable for clients entering multiple African markets simultaneously.
How does the ZaZiBoNa joint review work?
The SADC Joint Generic Medicines Evaluation (ZaZiBoNa) allows pharmaceutical companies to submit a single dossier for evaluation across multiple SADC member states simultaneously — reducing the cost and time of multi-country registration compared to sequential national submissions. Not all SADC states are full participants, and some products are excluded. Mishonga assesses ZaZiBoNa eligibility and manages the joint submission process.
Can Mishonga assist with government tender submissions?
Yes. Mishonga provides tender strategy, bid preparation, and pricing analysis for government pharmaceutical and regulated-product tenders across African markets — including the South African NHLS, DOH provincial tenders, and key bilateral tenders in SADC markets.
