Foreword

A unique guide to business and investment in Limpopo.

The 2019/20 edition of Limpopo Business is the 11th issue of this highly successful publication that, since its launch in 2007, has established itself as the premier business and investment guide for the Limpopo Province.

Limpopo has several investment and business opportunities. In addition to the regular articles providing insight into each of the key economic sectors of the province, there are special features on various Special Economic Zones (SEZs) which aim to drive industrialisation in the province and the initiatives which are further enhancing the tourism offering in Limpopo.

News related to mining, agriculture, transport and logistics, education and development finance is carried in overviews of the main economic sectors in the province.
