A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROPERTY AT BEOLIERE, MAHE, SEYCHELLES BELONGING TO WESTVIEW COMPANY LIMITED

INTRODUCTION 1. The property comprising two plots with Title number B240 and B241 at Beolière on the West Coast of Mahe in the Seychelles are owned by Westview Company Limited. The total area of the two plots which are adjacent to each other 208,267 square meters. The company also controls a smaller adjacent plot, B2343, with an area of 1,119 square meters.

2. The property has been earmarked for a tourism development project and has received approval in the past for such developments. These have not happened because of lack of development funds.

3. The company would like to promote the development of a tourism project A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROPERTY AT BEOLIERE 1. Beolière Property was traditionally an agricultural area which in the 1970’s was converted into an entertainment establishment, locally known then as the Country Club, featuring a mini-golf, restaurant, cinema and discotheque. Approximately 68% of the land is buildable, which is a very high percentage for Seychelles.

2. The top part of the property, identified on the map, with an area of 18,534 m² (9% of the total area), could be dedicated to a more traditional tourism development comprising self-catering villas and a restaurant. This area is characterized by superb views but is at the same time invisible from the public roads. It is estimated that 10 villas each with an area of 175m² could be comfortably sited there.

3. The remainder of the land may be divided into three zones. (i) A very steep zone with an area of 67,360 m^2 (32% of the total area) which cannot be used for any kind of development. (ii) A flat area previously dedicated to agricultural development through which the main entrance of the property runs of approximately 50,287 sq. meter (iii) A balance of 66,241.4 sq. meters (32 % of total area or 47% of useful area) of flattish land having a beautiful panoramic view of the sea and the surrounding islands. This area is very boulder strewn overlaying a massive glacis rising out from the sea-as may be seen from the GIS map of the area. Small pockets of soils may be found here and there. It is overlain with a humus layer-consisting largely of dead cinnamon, coco-plum and casuarinas leaves. Large areas are covered with cinnamon and coco plum plantations interspersed with endemics and indigenous trees. The latter tend to be largely located the side of the property adjoining the Grand Anse side of Mahe. This area is ideal for a tourism development.

21

(iv) The property is fenced all around its entire perimeter, except at its steepest slopes.

It is also connected to the national electricity grid and to the national treated water system. A motorable road in two places connects it to the national road system. (v) The property has approximately of 580 meters of coastline of which 90 meters are occupied by a sandy beach. It is very private (vi) The advantages offered by the property are the following: a. It is very private-can only be seen from the sea as it is hedged between two ridges-but still close to the public road. It is only a 30-minute drive from Victoria, the capital. b. It has stunning view of the West Coast and the South Coast, and especially the island of Therese and the rocky island off Grand Anse Mahe. c. It is completely fenced, except for a stretch which has very steep escarpments on the Northern side of it d. It has road access, electricity and treated water; note road access is from two sides-from the bottom and from the top e. It is one of the last prime sites available on Mahe for tourism development. It would also lend itself to an agricultural development on part of the property f. It is close to the public road but still very private. g. It has a long waterfront (580 meters) inclusive of a 90-meter white sandy beach Conclusion 1. For further details please contact Mr. Selwyn Gendron on GM@gondwana.sc and on telephone +248 271 34 28 any time.

KWAZULU-NATAL INVESTMENT OPPORTUNITIES 2015

Foreword by the MEC for Kwazulu-Natal department of economic development, Tourism & Environmental affairs Mr Michael Mabuyakhulu, MPP MEC for Economic Development, Tourism & Environmental Affairs

D

eveloping and emerging economies have become the preferred destination for investors as opposed to those of the developed economies. Africa, in particular, is increasingly becoming the greatest opportunity for investors and traders. South Africa at the moment is the most sought after African emerging market worldwide.

Our distinctive blend of a highly developed first-world economic infrastructure and a huge evolving market economy has

26

given rise to a strong entrepreneurial and dynamic investment environment.

The KwaZulu-Natal economy has shown growth and resilience, despite the serious challenges experienced within the European Union. These developments, worrying as they are for the rest of the world, point towards a shift in the balance of forces in the world’s economic scenario.

Situated on South Africa’s eastern seaboard, Durban in KwaZulu-Natal enjoys direct access to both the Indian and Pacific Ocean rims. The region’s strategic geographic position on world trade routes provides critical linkages with major global markets, including the Americas, Europe and the Middle and Far East, as well as the entire continent of Africa.

The province’s strategic location is enhanced by the fact that this is home to two of Africa’s busiest and largest seaports, Durban and Richards Bay. KwaZuluNatal is also home to the continent’s top conferencing facility and is widely regarded as being South Africa’s leading sports and tourist destination. But it is so much more; the province is the global business gateway to South Africa, Africa and the world.

Indeed, as we gear ourselves to receive the opportunities presented by the shift in the global economy’s centre of gravity, the province of KwaZulu-Natal has identified Special Economic Zones (SEZ) as a catalyst for economic development and as a tool for promoting growth and export within an environment that is almost free of the usually burdensome regulatory processes that often discourage investment.

Dube TradePort and the Richards Bay SEZs. The Dube TradePort will focus on agro-processing and green technology whereas the Richards Bay SEZ will focus on mineral and metal beneficiation. SEZs have had a number of economic benefits and other positive spin-offs in many countries where they have been implemented.

These include rapid employment growth, increased economic growth rates, growth of the manufacturing sector, broadening of the export markets, generation of new skills and technological transfer.

We therefore applaud Trade & Investment KwaZulu-Natal for including in this publication a destination marketing tool, one that will attract new investments and more importantly, bolster KwaZulu-Natal’s economic prowess.

The two Special Economic Zone (SEZs) proposed for the province of KZN are the

27

south africa as an investment destination

South Africa today is one of the most sophisticated emerging markets globally. The unique combination of a highly developed first-world economic infrastructure and a huge emerging market economy has given rise to a strong entrepreneurial and dynamic investment environment.

South Africa has achieved a level of macroeconomic stability not seen in the country for 40 years. These advances create

28

opportunities for an increase in expenditure on social services and reduce costs and risks for all investors, thereby laying the foundation for increased investment and growth.

The country is number one in the world in financial market development and 10th in investor protection. The JSE is one of the best regulated stock exchanges worldwide.

introducing the province of kwazulu-natal

KwaZulu-Natal is South Africa’s second largest economy, being the second largest contributor to the country’s GDP. The province is strategically placed with two of South Africa’s busiest and largest ports, Durban and Richards Bay, and boasts the highest export propensity and the highest level of industrialisation in the country.

The economic structure in this province is based on a large manufacturing sector

in which growth is driven by the paper products industry, ferro-alloys (such as aluminium) and other chemicals.

Further significant sub-sectors include motor vehicles and component manufacture, printing and publishing, food and beverage production, non-electrical, iron and steel, wood furniture, textiles and clothing.
