Interesting. Was in there recently (February) a few times & we used both runways. 7L is 3700 meters long & 7R 3800. Both were in good nick. Landing distances quite a bit shorter with the displaced thresholds.
Sounds like protectionism or good ol' African politics. If it was anyone else Mutt I'd say "are you sure?" but you've always got the glass upright.
Keep us posted.

According to the airport authorities, NOBODY is allowed to use the new runway in daylight because ATC cant see the runway ends from the old control tower! The new tower "should" be open in around 2 weeks.
4HP, they must have really liked you
To give credit where its due, the new terminal building is extremely impressive.
