Assupol introduces a safe, No Touch™ digital sales process for clients The insurance sector has seen a significant rise in activity in 2020, not only due to claims resulting from the Covid-19 pandemic, but also because businesses are trying to prepare for what life will look like in the future. Because serving is at the core of Assupol’s purpose, the long-term insurer embraced the benefits of innovation and technology to ensure its ability to continue to serve its clients in the public and private sector. The No Touch™ sales process developed, seeks to meet client needs from Assupol’s existing digital platforms, while ensuring that the insurer adheres to Covid-19 safety protocols as outlined by the government. “As a business, our strength has always been our face-to-face sales capability and the trust our clients have in us. Covid-19 restrictions presented an opportunity for us to be innovative about how we serve. The No Touch™ sales process gives new energy to Assupol’s existing processes. It is an exciting way to ensure that we keep serving our clients as South Africans adapt to a new way of life,” said Bridget Mokwena-Halala, Assupol Life CEO. How the No Touch™ sales process works: • • • • •
Clients consult with Assupol advisors over the phone Product applications are done on the Assupol Client and Rewards Portal on myassupol.datafree. co.za which is accessed data-free on CellC, MTN, Telkom and Vodacom Identification and verification of the client is done on the Assupol Client and Rewards Portal Clients have the opportunity to review their completed application form, record of advice and terms and conditions on the Assupol Client and Rewards Portal, as well as alert their advisor if any changes are required Clients accept all agreements on the Assupol Client and Rewards Portal
The No Touch™ sales process ensures that clients who are not comfortable with face-to-face consultations, can receive the assistance they require over the phone. This digital capability follows Assupol’s investment in IT infrastructure as part of the organisation’s digital transformation strategy to improve systems, protect client data and keep abreast of evolving client needs.

The Republic of South Africa is situated on the tip of Africa. It is surrounded by 2 500 kilometres of coastline, or 1 600 miles to the west of the country, is the Atlantic Ocean and to the east, the Indian Ocean. Its neighbours are Namibia, Botswana and Zimbabwe to the north. To the east lies Mozambique. The Kingdom of Swaziland and Lesotho are landlocked by South Africa. South Africa is the largest country in Southern Africa as well as the 25th largest and 24th most populous country in the world. The population has approximately 56 million people. The country is often referred to as the ‘Rainbow Nation’ because of its great diversity. The World Bank classifies South Africa as an ‘upper- middle-income’ economy, as well as a newly-industrialised country. The economy is the 2nd largest in Africa, next to Nigeria. And the 34th largest in the world in terms of purchasing power parity. South Africa has the seventh highest per capita income in Africa. However, poverty and inequality remain widespread. A quarter of the population are unemployed and live on less than 1.25 US dollars a day. Despite this, South Africa has been identified as a ‘middle power’ on the international front, and maintains a significant regional influence.

South Africa at a Glance
Today’s South Africa is one of the most sophisticated, diverse and promising emerging markets globally. Strategically located at the tip of the African continent, South Africa is a key investment location, both for the market opportunities that lie within its borders and as a gateway to the rest of the continent, a market of about 1- billion people. South Africa is the economic powerhouse of Africa and forms part of the BRICS group of countries with Brazil, Russia, India and China.

Adding Momentum to the Covid-19 psychosocial battlefront! Our nation has not been spared the unprecedented and near-overwhelming effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. Measures introduced to contain the spread of the virus have had a compounding and devastating economic impact and have exacerbated the social ills already experienced by many in our society. Media reports suggest that over 3 million people might have lost their jobs since March 2020. In addition to the economic consequences of interrupted livelihood, many more have experienced other devastating challenges. Particularly the vulnerable and underprivileged in our society who have been coerced to face a shift in their typical domestic situations due to the COVID-19 precautionary measures, such as lockdown and curfews. With lockdown level 5, life as we knew it was fundamentally altered. With schools being closed, businesses shut down, and social interaction severely limited, many families, and those sharing households, found themselves in far more intense proximity and physical engagement. This limitation on persons’ freedom of movement intensified the potential of constant or new household and domestic threats. Sadly, often in the form of woman and child abuse. Clearly women, children and also the elderly, are a vulnerable cohort who need protection, support and empowerment. That is why Momentum’s ‘Lesedi’corporate social investment initiative aims to engage Momentum employees with local communities across the country. The objective is to find ways to support and empower the most vulnerable in our society as the nation struggles to navigate the residual and enduring implications of the COVID-19 pandemic. Momentum volunteers have offered their support distributing food, clothing and personal protective equipment as well as sanitisers to community members. Our commitment to serving local communities will ensure that we continue to stand in solidarity with all efforts to protect the vulnerable. In so doing we trust creating a more enabling and safer environment will help serve to grow our nation.Momentum also offered counselling during the heightened Covid-19 season, not only to abused women and children, but to South Africans at large. Now, with most workplaces and schools reopened, Momentum has introduced vital Covid-19 ‘return to work and school’ screening programs. With these being both digitally and manually implemented, employers and schools can ensure that only symptom-free employees and learners are able to gain access to workplaces and schools. Meanwhile those employees identified with warning symptom, especially with high temperature, are provided with immediate virtual access to a doctor through Momentum’s Hello Dr app. The task facing South Africa is not only economic, it also includes vital psychosocial reconstruction. Momentum is taking its stand on that critical battlefront.

The Eastern Cape economy is largely dependent on the automotive sector but has potential in areas such as chemical and petrochemicals, agriculture and agro-processing, capital goods, manufacturing, automotive and green industries. Education, Health, Rural development, land and agrarian reform, and food security are priorities of the provincial government, and the growth of the agriculture and agro-processing sector is strongly rooted in the Eastern Cape Provincial Growth and Development Programme (PGDP). The PGDP earmarks primary production of food and food products, and the addition of value to primary production by processing, manufacturing and creative marketing of food products.
NATURAL RESOURCES
Premier, Mr Lubabalo Oscar Mabuyane, Eastern Cape
The Eastern Cape is abundantly rich in natural resources, from grazing land to forests, marine life to rich farming soils, water to wilderness. The province’s climate allows for the production of a diverse range of crops such as pineapples, tea, tomatoes and chicory. Pondoland, in the east of the province, holds some of the richest soils in the country. The province’s natural assets include a World Heritage Site in the Baviaanskloof Wilderness, which is part of the Cape Floral Kingdom, the Cacadu district and the world famous Addo Elephant National Park in the Sunday’s River Valley. Between 10% and 15% of land is set aside for provincial nature reserves while private parks. The Eastern Cape has a well-developed transport system with three airports linked by a national road system. The East London Airport receives between 20 and 30 flights per day with two domestic airlines operating from the airport South African Airways and SA Express. The airport also plays a crucial role in the growing economy of the Eastern Cape by linking the cargo chain along with the East London Port.

The Nelson Mandela Bay Metropolitan Municipality is a Category A municipality situated in the Eastern Cape province. On December the 5th 2000, Nelson Mandela Bay was the first city in South Africa to establish a fully integrated democratic local authority and the only city in the world named after Nelson Mandela, who was born and spent his formative years in the Eastern Cape. The province is the second largest in South Africa and represents 14% of the country’s land mass. The area has miles of sandy beaches, a variety of nature reserves and quaint towns filled with rich histories and vibrant cultures. It is these distinctive attributes that attract local and international tourist to the province. Nelson Mandela Bay boasts an assortment of tourist attractions such as its clean, safe, golden beaches and its exquisite natural surroundings and wildlife reserves. Situated on the outskirts of Port Elizabeth (25 km west from the city centre), one would find the ever popular Seaview Game and Lion Park. The ADDO Elephant National Park, home to the Big 7 and to the world’s most comprehensively recorded elephant population, is situated 72 km north of Nelson Mandela Bay. The Bay also presents a diverse marine life that can be enjoyed all year round. The area’s vibrant and friendly culture offers visitors diversity, from the indigenous Xhosa culture with its unique and charming craft, music and dance to the European Colonial history showcased in various museums and architecture in the area. A range of art galleries in Nelson Mandela Bay exhibit local artists and open-air flea markets pose the opportunity for crafters to display and sell their work. The automotive industry is one of the main contributors to the area’s economic growth. The Eastern Cape is home to three major automotive manufacturers, namely Volkswagen, General Motors South Africa (both located in Nelson Mandela Bay), and Daimler Chrysler (situated in East London). In addition, there are over a 150 vehicle component manufacturers in the province. Infrastructural projects such as the Coega IDZ and the East London IDZ have shown added value to local and foreign investors with export interests.

The Alfred Nzo District Municipality is a Category C municipality located in the north-eastern corner of the Eastern Cape Province. It stretches from the Drakensberg Mountains, bordering Harry Gwala District Municipality to the north, OR Tambo District Municipality in the south and east, and Lesotho in the west. The district is relatively well endowed with indigenous forests. Some medicinal plant collection takes place, mainly by local people with a thorough knowledge of the area. Bird life is abundant in the forests, and also in the mist belt of Umzimkulu. Indigenous forests are threatened by adjacent forest plantations whose operations often destroy the undergrowth. There are wetlands in the Ntsikeni and Ongeluksnek areas. The wetlands in Ntsikeni are in a protected area, and in a good condition. Heritage sites are largely undocumented, and consist mainly of rock art and historical buildings. No declared sites exist, but many buildings in Mount Ayliff and Umzimkulu qualify to be heritage sites. Rock art sites have automatic heritage status, but none is actively protected or conserved. Agriculture and tourism make up core components of the local economy. The Matatiele municipality is close to the Lesotho/South Africa national border and has two urban nodes – the towns of Matatiele and Cedarville. Matatiele acts as a service node to the agrarian based economy of the area, while Cedarville serves as a secondary service centre. Umzimvubu municipality hosts the district’s administrative capital in Mount Ayliff and the district’s largest economic node in Mount Frere. The N2 traverses the course of the Umzimvubu municipality, and can be seen as its most prominent defining trait. Ntabankulu municipality has small urban settlements at Ntabankulu town and Cacadu village. Ntabankulu has a strong rural presence and is geographically defined by several mountain ranges. Mbizana municipality is the district’s gateway to the Wild Coast and has a medium sized town at Bizana. The district has a very mountainous terrain. The land form of the district is generally rugged, with parts of it characterized by steep slopes and high elevations. The topography has implications on the district’s natural, social and economic environment. The district is characterized by a high level of biodiversity, and natural resources include river systems, indigenous forests and rich soils.

The Chris Hani District Municipality is a Category C municipality situated in the north-eastern part of the Eastern Cape, a linking node to all regions in the province. There are good road and rail linkages between Queenstown and Buffalo City, as well as between the Inxuba Yethemba towns of Cradock and Middelburg and the Metro. In short, the most developed transport infrastructure takes one out of the district to the primary and secondary provincial centres, rather than across the small centres of the district. Greater intra-district flows may develop given the status of the R61 – which runs across the length of Chris Hani through the main towns of five local municipalities – as a national road. The district contributes 6.5% to gross geographic value added in the Eastern Cape. Government and community services aside, the largest sector contributions to the district economy come from agriculture, forestry and hunting that accounts for up to 30% of district output, followed by services (12%) tourism (5%), and manufacturing (4%). Livestock production is the predominant farming activity and Queenstown is the hub for cattle trade in the district. There are many small, medium and large irrigation schemes that provide opportunities for high value horticultural production. The District agricultural economy is characterised by a ‘dualism’ dividing the “first economy” commercial agriculture, and “second economy” subsistence farming in the former homelands. The effects of this dualism presents a formidable range of challenges, these include developing state support to agriculture, particularly extension support. There is clearly significant potential in agriculture and livestock evident though Chris Hani district municipality, hosting the largest livestock herds in SA. The Chris Hani district municipality is a net importer of processed food, despite significant levels of agricultural output within the district. Much of this is exported to the major centres of Bloemfontein, Port Elizabeth, Durban and East London with local farmers generally being short changed at the bottom end of the value-chain.

The Wild Coast and Interior provide a web of roads through spectacular scenery from precipitous coastal cliffs and remote beaches to dramatic, forested gorges and gentle hills dotted with colourful homesteads. The O.R Tambo District covers most of the former Tanskei. Umtata is the main centre, and the O.R Tambo covers most of the Wild Coast and Pondoland. The district has a sub-tropical coastal belt, especially from Port St. Johns northwards. It has some game reserves that have indigenous forests. Pondoland, being nearly the most fertile areas in South Africa, has warm temperatures and good soils with frost-free conditions. Some of the other major towns in the district are Mqanduli, Port St. Johns, Qumbu, Lusikisiki and Bizana. Fauna and flora still dominate most of the unspoilt natural vegetation in most tourist attraction areas. This is attributed to the fact that areas like Port St Johns, Hole in the Wall, Coffee Bay, Mkambathi Game reserve are still largely underdeveloped and even small developments in terms of buildings do not affect the greenery and tranquillity prevailing. The tourism in O.R Tambo is cantered on the breath taking Wild Coast, which is a host to many resorts and nature reserves. Port St. Johns is developing as a tourism destination The Pondoland coast is one of the most spectacular eco-tourism destinations in South Africa and is going to be host to an expanded nature and marine reserve. The Nelson Mandela Museum, in Umatata and Qunu, houses the history of the struggle against apartheid and the life of Nelson Mandela. The government is the chief employer in the economy and they employ thousands of people in the formal and informal sectors.

The Sarah Baartman District Municipality is a category C municipality situated in the western portion of the Eastern Cape Province. Although it completely surrounds Nelson Mandela Bay, the two areas are independent entities serving different communities. The predominant sectors in terms of the District’s economy are agriculture and tourism, contributing approximately R690 million and R680 million respectively to the Gross Geographic Product of the District. Agriculture, together with related post-harvest value adding or agro-processing, creates approximately 41% and 7% of formal employment opportunities respectively, while the tourism industry creates approximately 3% of formal employment. Due to the diverse climate of the region, a wide array of agricultural commodities is produced. Very little arable land exists in the District and therefore agriculture mostly consists of extensive animal grazing. The contribution from the commercial farming sector in the Sarah Baartman District is larger than that from any other district in the Eastern Cape. Whilst the district is a big producer of crops and livestock, very little beneficiation occurs in the district and most of the products are sold in their unprocessed form. The main agricultural industries (as well as related agricultural raw material emanating from industries) in the district include: • • • • • •
Goats (chevon, mohair and hides) Cattle (beef, dairy and hides) Ostrich (meat, leather and feathers) Pork Grains (animal feed) Honey bush tea
• • • • • •
Sheep (mutton, wool and hides) Chicken (meat and eggs) Game (venison) Fishing Vegetables (fresh and for processing) Fruit (citrus, deciduous fruit, pineapple and stone fruit

The Mangaung metropolitan municipality is a category A municipality centrally located within the Free State and is accessible via National infrastructure, including the N1 (which links Gauteng with the Southern and Western Cape), the N6 (which links Bloemfontein to the Eastern Cape), and the N8 (which links Lesotho in the east and with the Northern Cape in the west via Bloemfontein).
Agriculture The agricultural sector in the province is characterised by large-scale and small-scale commercial agriculture as well as subsistence agriculture. The two major poles of agriculture are subsistence and large-scale commercial farms. The historical evolution of agriculture has seen the progressive decline of small-scale commercial agriculture, which has been stifled by lack of access to credit, and limited access to markets and transport.
Mining Historically, mining has played a small role in the economy of Mangaung metropolitan municipality. The contribution of the mining sector to South Africa’s economy has decreased drastically in the past 20 years. However, the mining sector still plays a very important role in the South African economy. According to the National Development Plan, about 60% of South Africa’s export revenue comes from mining, minerals and secondary beneficiated products. Manufacturing The overall growth in the manufacturing industry in the Free State is closely linked to the fuel, petroleum and chemicals sub-sector in Sasolburg. Although this sector is largely linked to Gauteng, effective support for this sector remains a priority as significant linkages would exist within the province.
Tourism Tourism nodal areas include N8 Airport Node, the Maloti R26, Thaba Nchu’ s Maria Moroka National Park and the surroundings the CBD and the nature based activities around Soutpan area . Mangaung is well position to capitalise on its strength on business tourism opportunities such busy social calendar of events and conferences. Development and promotion of Tourist Routes such Maloti Route, the Friendly N6 Route , Batho Route and the 4x4 routes remains one of the catalysts to stimulate employment creation , skills development and community participation.

Free State The Fezile Dabi District Municipality is a Category C municipality, formerly known as the Northern Free State District Municipality, situated in the north of the Free State. It is bordered by the North West, Gauteng and Mpumalanga province to the north, Thabo Mofutsanyana district to the south, and Lejweleputswa district to the west.
Tourism Fezile Dabi district municipality, in close proximity to Gauteng and Johannesburg International Airport is perfect for weekend getaway. The Vaal River forms the northern bother and with the Vaal Dam, is one of the main features of the area. Many excellent resorts line the banks and makes this a popular venue for angling, wind surfing, water-skiing, paragliding and river rafting. Bird and animal life abounds in game and nature reserves or one may visit a game farm where controlled hunting has become available. The flat plains of this region were thrown into turmoil when a giant meteor struck the earth some 2000 million years ago forcing the earth into deep gorges and ridges. The Dome, known as Vredefort Structure, has numerous streams winding through the gorges and there are excellent opportunities for fly fishing while hiking and mountain biking provide recreation for the more active. From Sasolburg, chemical giant and hub of industry, to the peaceful rural areas, Fezile Dabi has a wealth of historical, cultural and leisure pursuits to offer.
Economy The Fezile Dabi district is a highly productive district, particularly in the agricultural production and manufacturing activities, which are directly related to the chemical productions in Sasol industries. It is estimated that the economic growth in the Fezile Dabi district municipality has grown by approximately 2.1% per annum between 1996 and 2004 and it is expected that due to increased production capacities and new economic ventures within the district, this growth rate may have been well sustained and even exceeded in recent times. This growth rate is more that the economic growth rate of 0.7% per annum for the Free State Province for the same period. In 2004, the district had a proportional contribution of 31.8% to the Free State’s economy, as compared to 12.6% in 1996, showing a growth of 19.2% since 1996 to 2004.

Welkom City The Lejweleputswa district municipality is a category C municipality situated in the North West part of the Free State.
Economy structure The main economic activities in the Lejweleputswa District happens in the primary sector and the tertiary sector. The primary sector in Lejweleputswa is driven by agriculture and mining. Matjhabeng is the largest municipality in the District and it contains most of the mining activities, especially gold mining, followed by Masilonyana with some of the gold mining and diamond mining. Recently the mining sector has been on a downward trend as a result of closure of many of the shafts as a result of high costs of production among others and the need for deep mining. The Free State is considered the bread-basket of South Africa supplying a significant portion of the agricultural produce. Maize is the main product of Lejweleputswa and the region is also known as the maize capital of South Africa although the municipality is diverse in farming activities. The agriculture industry is important for a number of reasons namely, food security, employment opportunities, the economy, and provides a good foundation for rural development and it is therefore important to protect agricultural land from being transformed into urban related areas. An advantage of this industry is the snowball effect it creates by way of agro-processing and tourism. Irrigation schemes play an important role in agriculture as they prove to yield more compared to crops harvested on dry land. The Free State is mostly characterised by subsistence and large scale commercial farming.
Tourism Lejweleputswa’s tourism is mainly dominated by business tourism and nature-based tourism. This is followed by a range of historical and cultural tourism products. Another of Lejweleputswa’s tourism advantages relates to the district municipalities central location in South Africa. The municipality is well integrated with the rest of South Africa through its road and rail networks and serves as a popular tourist stopover destination. Tourism is considered to be sustainable as a result of the continuous demand and consumption of the product without diminishing natural resources.

Uniforms – Quality is important If you skimp on quality, you will end up paying for it dearly - this is a mantra that guides one of South Africa’s leading uniform suppliers and manufacturers. Sparks & Ellis specialises in complete uniform solutions, equipment and accessories for its security, traffic, fire and rescue, ambulance, law enforcement and corporate clients. According to Managing Director of Sparks & Ellis, Sue de Wet, balancing budget and quality is a delicate balance when looking for a uniform. Government and private companies should never underestimate the importance of quality materials which impacts on the life span of a garment. The main factors for consideration include colour, washable materials, quality of zips and buttons and the ease of replacement. Other considerations are the environment in which the person is working – for example, is the uniform breathable? Is it water and fire-resistant? Does the wearer need safety shoes with steel-capped toes? “While some companies believe that uniforms should be replaced on an annual basis, others think that they should be adapted with the changing seasons. Sparks & Ellis tries to encourage companies to invest in seasonal uniforms that help to extend the life of the uniform. Over time, good quality uniforms could save companies unnecessary replacement costs.” “Throughout everything we do, quality is at the epicentre of our offering. Without that, our customers – even if they want to cut corners to slash prices – would pay far more in the long run for replacing and repairing an inferior product. Our win-win quality ethic makes our customers happy and fills us with pride in what we do.” adds Sue de Wet. By using the latest technology, Sparks & Ellis offers clients an online ordering system to enable them to access the full history per person as well as 13 months financial history by account. Their in-house design studio allows them to develop unique products and ensure consistency in terms of quality and fit. Established in the early 1930s, and bought in 1967 by Cape Union Mart, Sparks & Ellis is now owned by Cape Union Mart Group (70%) and empowerment partner, Thebe Investment Corporation (30%). Unusually, Sparks & Ellis is one of the few suppliers to have its own factory – K-Way Manufacturers (also part of the Cape Union Mart Group) and is one of the few uniform suppliers to be a Level 1 contributor with an Empowerdex rating of AAA+. All uniform garments are manufactured in South Africa and where possible, local fabrics are also preferred and sourced.

he Johannesburg Development Agency (JDA) is wholly owned area-based development agency of the City of Johannesburg with an emphasis on the development of resilient, sustainable and liveable urban areas in identified transit nodes and corridors. This means that as a area-based development agency, we are more than just a project management agency or an economic development agency. The JDA is mandated as an area-based development agency, unique in that unlike traditional development agency models it straddles both a market and citizen facing approach (not fully combusted in either direction). Instead, the JDA combines a social, economic and environmental mandate. Johannesburg cannot afford to only consider economic factors but requires developmental approaches attuned to complexity. The JDA deals with the renovation, innovation and re-imagination of Johannesburg’s built environment and urban communities through a reinforced programme of place making and area-based development. In the past, it has undertaken and delivered projects and programmes that have been located spatially across city, precinct and neighbourhood scales. The JDA has undertaken over 600 projects throughout Johannesburg. The JDA’s capital expenditure over the past 18 years has totalled over R11 billion, with over R8 billion just in the past 7 years.
37
The JDA has been responsible for spearheading and delivering the City of Johannesburg’s strategic projects since inception. We give much emphasis to precinct-based development, working with stakeholders to enhance areas and address local challenges and needs in a sustainable way through our capital investments. At the JDA we believe the co-production of solutions in partnership with local communities and stakeholders allows for our development programmes to meet local needs and mitigate needs. This is an essential component of development interventions in Cities. By doing this we ensure that a more responsible and effective approach is to work with local stakeholders to produce solutions, drawing on their knowledge of the development context. This can cultivate a much more sustainable sense of ownership, civic pride and citizenship. The work implemented by the JDA is delivered through three substantive programmes. The first is focused on the delivery of strategic economic node infrastructure which in turn concentrates on the transformation of Johannesburg’s inner city and other key economic nodes within the Metro. The second programme is the accelerated public infrastructure delivery which focuses on revitalisation of deprived areas as well as development of urban infrastructure. The last programme is about economic empowerment, which aims to develop skills and capacity within the construction industry in Johannesburg; optimise the JDA’s contribution to inclusive economic growth and empowerment and the transformation of the construction industry; and establishes a monitoring and reporting system to measure the impact of the JDA’s managing contractor development programme. The JDA implements capital projects across a variety of programmes aimed at achieving the following: • • • •
Catalysing growth in areas with latent investment potential. Creating robust democratic public spaces that give dignity and choice to city users. Connecting people with opportunities to live, work, play, learn, and be healthy in the city. Co-producing solutions in partnership with local communities and stakeholders to meet local needs and mitigate challenges.

The City of Tshwane metropolitan municipality is a category A municipality situated in the Gauteng province.
Business From a bustling CBD to its serene office parks, the City of Tshwane offers opportunities for any size of business - from the all-important small, micro and medium enterprises (SMME) and entrepreneurs, to high-technology firms, global commercial operations, as well as light and heavy industry. With a solid foundation, the City is a proven leader in education, research and technology, electronics and information technology, as well as defence, design and construction. Most of South Africa’s research and development (R&D – some estimates say as much as 90 percent) is conducted in the City by institutions such as Armscor, the Medical Research Council, the Council for Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR), and the Human Sciences Research Council (HSRC). Of course, these organisations are complemented by world-class educational institutions such as the University of South Africa (UNISA), Tshwane University of Technology and the
University of Pretoria. Besides having a good, symbiotic relationship with its business sector, the City recognises the importance of business in working with us to deliver growth and further development. To this end, we remain committed to our mandate – of delivering core services that ensure accelerated and shared economic growth and broad participation by all our citizens. In line with our focus on inspiring the world, influencing Africa and leading South Africa, we aim to help build a viable, sustainable economy that will not only substantially improve the quality of life of all our communities, but also allow the City of Tshwane to compete in the global economic arena. With easy access via road, rail to Oliver Tambo Airport, a network of roads to neighbouring cities, and the Gautrain and BRT networks for easy commuting, doing business in the City is much more than just being situated in the capital of South Africa. And it is not only large enterprises – whether commercial, industry, or construction – that benefit; in prioritising the strategic national goals of job creation and sustainable growth, we continue to concentrate on the creation of growth-oriented SMME’s. Here, we acknowledge the importance of informal trade in the SMME sector, as it ensures the survival of large numbers of people who do not draw an income from the formal employment sector.
Main economic sectors Community services, finance, transport, trade, manufacturing, construction, mining, electricity and agriculture

Randfontein City Hall The West Rand district municipality is a category C municipality located in the west of Gauteng. There is a wonderful selection of things to do in this area, such as game drives, hiking and mountain biking trails, horse-riding and visiting art galleries. Two tourist routes, the Magalies Meander and Crocodile Ramble, provide excellent day trips from Johannesburg and Pretoria. The area is also world-renowned for its rich archaeological and anthropology sites. The highlight of these is the Cradle of Humankind, which is home to the Sterkfontein Caves and the Maropeng Visitors’ Centre, which has been developed in Kromdraai, an area so rich in anthropology that it has been declared a Unesco World Heritage Site. It is here where evidence of the ancient hominid habitation has been documented, stretching back over two million years. Another great attraction in the West Rand is the world’s deepest mining shaft, plunging to 3.6 kilometres into the earth. Gold and uranium mining are major economic contributors in the District, and old mine tailings are reprocessed using modern technology. The District is focused on attracting downstream mining industries like refining and beneficiation. The West Rand district municipality contributes the most of all the district municipalities (excluding metropolitan municipalities) in Gauteng to the province’s economy in terms of sectors. The district municipality contributes over R15 billion. Its economy is driven by manufacturing, community services, mining and trade and finance. The West Rand district municipality has consistently enjoyed comparative advantages in the following sectors: •
Mining (Westonaria, Merafong City and Rand West City)
•
Manufacturing (Mogale City and Rand West City); and
•
Construction (Rand West City and Mogale City).
The district is well serviced in terms of east-west regional linkages and these directly link the West Rand to the northern and central Gauteng economic powerhouses to its east and the agricultural and mining zones of the North West Province to its west. On the other hand, the north-south linkages centralise it between the Free State Province and the eastern parts of the North West Province such as the Bojanala Local Municipality. Commuter rail services operate in the West Rand and these connect the far western side of the region (Merafong City) with the City of Johannesburg. There are training services operating in Mogale City and Rand West City. The Lanseria airport node is an important development for the entire region and could influence the development of the K29 corridor.

KwaZulu-Natal has the second largest economy in the country. It contributes some 16% towards the country’s GDP. Manufacturing, trade, business services and transport communications are the largest and strongest growth sectors of the provincial economy, together with aluminium conversion, fabricated products, automotive components, conversion (emphasis on export-oriented investment), electronics, engineering, metal works, petrochemicals and wood products. This province offers a highly competitive advantage in capital-intensive manufacturing, transport, storage and communications, as well as finance and business services. It is also well positioned in agriculture, forestry and fishing, agricultural resource-intensive manufacturing and in the tourism and accommodation sectors.

Boasting the highest export propensity and the highest level of industrialisation in the country, the economic structure in KwaZulu-Natal is based on a large manufacturing sector in which growth is driven by the paper and paper products industry, ferroalloys (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 machinery, iron and steel, wood furniture, textiles and clothing. KwaZulu-Natal’s emergence as a hub of industrial development in sub-Saharan Africa may be attributed to its unmatched natural resource endowments, exceptional productive capacity, well-developed first-world infrastructure and advantageous coastal location. Economic activity is concentrated in the metropolitan areas of Durban, Pietermaritzburg and Richards Bay, with the coastal belts utilised for sugar cane plantations and sub-tropical fruit and vegetables. Two of Africa’s primary seaports are located in KwaZulu-Natal, while the worldclass Dube Trade Port - home to King Shaka International Airport - provide a key competitive advantage and ensure the province’s importance for economic growth, effectively repositioning the country to increase its share of the global market.

The eThekwini Metropolitan Municipality is a Category A municipality situated in the KwaZulu Natal province. Durban is the largest city in this province and the third-largest city in the country. Its land area is comparatively larger than that of other South African cities and is topographically hilly, with many gorges and ravines and almost no true coastal plain. eThekwini ranks as the second largest economic centre with the second most significant industrial region in South Africa. The municipality is home to Africa’s busiest port, Durban Port, Dube TradePort - a multimodal logistics platform and King Shaka International Airport. These facilities provide vital links between the regional economies of Pietermaritzburg (and onward to Gauteng) and Richards Bay. The Metro is a substantial administrative centre, providing key public services within the eThekwini area as well as to the wider region. During the past six years, the municipality has experienced good progress towards ensuring good governance. Significant resources have been invested in infrastructure delivery in order to address service delivery backlogs and this continues to be a major area of capital spending in the municipal budget. Where necessary, the municipality assists deserving residents through rates rebates and the provision of free basic services. eThekwini intends to have a world-class transport system with a public transport focus, providing high levels of mobility and accessibility for the movement of people and goods in a safe, sustainable and affordable manner. The strategy focuses on reducing overall demand for road space while maximising the effective utilisation and efficient operation of road infrastructure for purposes of private and public transport use. It also places an emphasis on strategies which support and use of public transport. The city has identified a number of other catalytic projects in key areas within the integration zones to look at creative ways of utilising limited resources to stimulate the economy. The provision of support to facilitate investment into these key catalytic projects is a major drive. This relates to support for the development of the Cornubia mixed use project, support to further development of Dube TradePort (DTP) and the Aerotropolis, facilitating of the phased provision of bulk infrastructure to support development in the North, facilitation of the phased provision of bulk Infrastructure to support development in the N3 Corridor (Shongweni; Hammarsdale; Cato Ridge), and the promotion of IT connectivity. Main economic sectors – finance, manufacturing, community services, trade, transport, construction and electricity.

Karbochem Newcastle Plant The Amajuba District Municipality is a category C municipality located within the north-western corner of the KwaZulu province. Although the district is peripherally located when viewed at a national and provincial scale, it is well connected and enjoys a relatively high level of accessibility within its spatial and economic functional region. N11, which is a national trade and movement route linking KwaZulu-Natal with the Mpumalanga and Gauteng provinces, runs through the western part of the district while regional connector distributor routes such as P483, R34 and others, traverse the district in an east-west direction ensuring functional linkages with the surrounding towns such as Ladysmith, Dundee and Vryheid. The district is predominantly rural and dominated by extensive commercial farmlands. Newcastle is the main urban centre and economic hub. Towns such as Dannhauser and Utrecht serve as secondary service centres with limited thresholds. A continuum of settlements ranging from urban and high density areas of Osizweni and Madadeni Townships through informal settlements in Johnston, Blaawbosch and Cavan (JBC) to rural settlements forming part of Ubuhlebomzinyathi occur mainly along the Buffalo River. Large scale commercial agriculture is extensive throughout the district with intensive irrigated production taking place west of the town of Newcastle around the Chelmsford dam below the escarpment. This is a fertile area used for high value crop production. The areas north of Newcastle are characterised by dry land and limited areas of irrigated agriculture around Groenvlei. Commercial timber has been established along the escarpment to the west and north of Newcastle. The high lying areas of the municipality in the north east are mainly used for extensive livestock production and limited commercial timber. The remaining lower lying areas of the municipality are generally drier and hence used for extensive livestock production.

Sappi tugela mill The Ilembe District Municipality is a category C municipality situated on the east coast of KZN, bordering the Indian Ocean The commercial farming areas of KwaDukuza, Mandeni and Ndwedwe (31% of the iLembe District) are mainly under privately owned sugar cane. Areas of urbanisation in the district comprise of KwaDukuza/Stanger, Mandeni, the Dolphin Coast and Nkwazi. Land uses within these areas are typically urban mixed uses with high levels of infrastructural and service development and an adequate provision of social facilities and services to support the resident populations Industrial development is concentrated in KwaDukuza, Isithebe and Darnall, most notably the Gledhow and Darnall sugar milling operations at Stanger and the Sappi Paper mills at Mandeni. Village centres such as Maphumulo and Ndwedwe in the west, Nyoni and Mbizimbelwa in the north comprise of commercial and service development in the rural areas. They largely exist in association with a magistrate’s court, clinic, pension pay point, health, education and welfare office or similar state service. Wholesale commercial activities have expanded and these villages have emerged as supply centres and transportation hubs to the remote rural areas of iLembe. Despite its strategic location, iLembe faces numerous economic challenges such as the high levels of poverty in the rural inland areas, which contrasts with rapid development along its coastal regions. The District has been proactive in developing Enterprise iLembe, a broad based institution aimed at facilitating local economic development, in response to its challenges of high rates of unemployment and correspondingly high levels of poverty. Agriculture accounts for a large amount of the land use and is predominantly sugar-cane related. GGP is growing on average annually at 3.1% while total employment has been decreasing on average annually by 1.8% which can be explained by the fact that the major economic industries of manufacturing and agriculture are declining nationally. Tourism, commercial and property development is booming in the coastal and inland corridor regions.

Dundee The uMzinyathi district municipality is a category C municipality located in the north and central areas of KwaZulu-Natal. The district lies between the main N3 corridor between Durban and Gauteng and the Coastal Corridor, running along the east coast.
Economy Most industry in the area is associated with agriculture or hand work (carpets, beadwork) by trained artisans. The use of natural products, water, by aQuellé, is a national brand. The municipal area has extensive grasslands in the north supporting the primary agricultural sector based on cattle ranching for beef, small scale sheep and mixed farming and maize cultivation. In the southern areas substantial forestry is prevalent. Sugar cane and smaller scale fruit farming such as avocado and kiwi fruit cultivation also occur. The area has high potential for growth in agricultural crop production (maize, soybean and sugar cane). In rural areas, particularly at Umsinga and Nquthu, animals are not kept as farming commodities and are seldom slaughtered or sold. There is a need for farmer support programmes to improve stock management. It is important to broaden rural livelihoods through targeted agricultural production. There is very little product beneficiation with most products being exported to major markets for further processing and / or export.
Mining Mineral deposits found in the district include coal and metal ores. Dundee and Glencoe forms part of the so called Coal Rim of KwaZulu-Natal, which have over the past decade been negatively affected by a substantial decline in the coal mining sector which uMzinyathi district municipality, previously formed the economic base of the areas. However, the coal mining industry is undergoing a restructuring process and there is interest in the small scale regeneration of the coal belt for SMME development. A small amount of stone quarrying occurs in the district.
Tourism The Battlefields form a vital role in the spatial economy of the province from a tourism perspective. The revenue from tourism related to the Battlefields is contributing to the district economy, particularly at Endumeni. Visitors to the area are mainly domestic tourists, although some foreign tourists pass through the region en route to other attractions outside the node such as the Drakensburg, Swaziland or the Kruger National Park.

City Hall, Uthukela The Uthukela district municipality is a category C municipality and is located on the western boundary of KwaZulu- Natal province. The district derives its name from one of the major rivers in KwaZulu-Natal, the uThukela River, which rises from the Drakensberg mountains and supplies water to a large portion of KwaZulu-Natal, as well as Gauteng.
Agriculture Agriculture makes an important contribution to the economy of the district in the form of production, provision of resources for up and downstream processing as well as manufacturing and job creation. This sector is known for the production of maize, soya, wheat and potatoes in the highland areas of the district while the low lying areas are mainly livestock and vegetables. The extensive livestock production focuses primarily on beef, dairy and sheep. Even though commercial agriculture occupies a relatively large portion of the municipal land, subsistence agriculture is still the dominant activity in the municipality. There is opportunity in the commercial agriculture space where commercial agricultural land has large areas set aside for land reform. There has thus been that resultant loss of agricultural land for production which can potentially be leased back to commercial farmers for production purposes.
Tourism The tourism sector comprises three main parts namely the berg experience with hotels, chalets and camp sites located from Mount Aux Sources in the northern area to the Giants Castle in the south. The second major part is historical tourism involving the battlefields routes through the eastern part of the district. The third part involves game reserves and wildlife experience in the lower lying bushveld (as opposed to berg) areas of the district in proclaimed and private conservancies. This includes an expanding area devoted to game farming and professional hunting. Adventure tourism is closely linked to the berg and the bush experience. The main source market of foreign tourists in the district are from USA, Germany, UK and the Netherlands with an estimated 162 967 foreign tourists having visited the district in 2010.
Manufacturing The textile, clothing, footwear and leather industries have historically been the mainstay of the regional economy, with food, beverages and tobacco being other significant manufacturing subsectors.
Main Economic sectors: manufacturing, wholesale and trade, catering, communication, agriculture, tourism, real estate and business services.

King Shaka’s statue outside the old legislature building in Ulundi The Zululand district municipality is a category C municipality situated in the north-eastern part of KwaZulu-Natal.
Economy The Zululand District Municipality, due to its location in relation to transport routes and its distance from major centres, is relatively isolated from the national economy. Further to this, access to basic factors of production such as raw materials, skilled labour and infrastructure is generally limited. Raw materials available in the area relate to coal mining and agricultural activities including maize, beef, timber and sugar production. Local beneficiation of raw materials is limited. The area reflects the disparity in access to resources evident in all areas of KwaZulu-Natal where poverty stricken traditional authority areas border on well-established commercial farming areas. The five municipal centres, or key towns, are the focus of economic activity in each of the local municipalities and here the resource split between urban and rural areas are evident. Despite the above the area has unique characteristics offering a range of opportunities for economic development. Most importantly the area of the Zululand district municipality is viewed as the symbolic core, also referred to as the “warm heart”, of the wider area referred to as Zululand. This represents specific marketing opportunities. The district is home to a rich cultural diversity and numerous sites of historical significance, specifically relating to the Zulu nation. It has historically been and is still the home of the Zulu monarch. Further to this, the town of Ulundi, the base of the Zululand district municipality, historically served as the capital of KwaZulu-Natal and still serves as the capital of KwaZulu-Natal together with Pietermaritzburg. Significant developments in specifically the game farming sector by both local and international investors, the establishment of internationally competitive industries focusing on mineral water and charcoal production, the establishment of agriculture processing initiatives, and the transformation of the local government sector provides a strong basis for the economic development of the region. Government initiatives related to the provision of infrastructure, the construction of key roads and the development of key tourist attractions further strengthens the foundation for economic development.

In terms of Agriculture Limpopo could be described as the garden of South Africa and or the whole continent, given its rich fruit and vegetable production. The province produces 75% of the country’s mangoes, 65% of its papaya, 36% of its tea, 25% of its citrus, bananas, and litchis, 60% of its avocados, two thirds of its tomatoes, 285 000 tons of potatoes. Other products include coffee, nuts, guavas, sisal, cotton and tobacco, timber with more than 170 plantations. Apart from all these, there is cotton, sunflower, maize, wheat cultivation as well as grape. Most of the higher lying areas are devoted to cattle and game ranching, earning a reputation for quality biltong, a popular South African delicacy of salted, dried meat.
MINERAL Limpopo is also endowed with the abundance of its mineral resources, locating mining as the critical sector of the economy in the province, which contributes 22% of the GGP. The platinum group include platinum itself, chromium, nickel, cobalt, vanadium, tin, limestone and uranium clay. Other reserves include antinomy, phosphates, fluorspar, gold, diamonds, copper, emeralds, scheelites, magnetite, vermiculite, silicon, mica, black granite, corundum, feldspar and salt. As if all this is not enough there are financial incentives through a package put down by the National Government. A wide range of incentives to investors include, a tax holiday for up to six years. As a result of this potential the Provincial government has established TIL (Trade Investment Limpopo). It offers a wide range of services to entrepreneurs and investors interested in setting up business in the Limpopo. It specialises in helping to attract inward investment companies to find the best opportunities for acquisitions or green

Polokwane The Capricorn district municipality is a category C municipality situated in the Limpopo province.
Agriculture Agriculture accounts for 2.8% of the total district economy and contributes R690 million per annum. Potatoes are by far the most produced and important crop in the Capricorn district municipality. The production value of potation totalled R200 million in 2000. This is followed by tomatoes (R98 million), eggs (R88 million) and broilers and beef almost equal at R61 million. Pork and citrus production are also substantial at R37 million respectively. Polokwane’s farmers produce 60 000 tons of onions, generating R50 million per, but import all of their agricultural inputs comprising 65% of production value (Steyn: Agricultural Cluster Study). The Capricorn district municipality is home to one of the largest citrus estates in the country, namely, Zebediela Citrus Estate (13 785 ha) which is located in the Lepelle-Nkumpi municipality in Zebediela. This estate produces citrus mainly for the international market. The Zebediela Citrus Plantation exports most of its produce and supplies the rest to local markets.
Mining Mining is the smallest contributor to the Capricorn district municipality’s economy and accounts only for 0.6%. It is the only sector that experienced negative growth (-6.7%) in the last decade. Its total contribution in 2006 summed R154 million. However, although mining may proportionally be of less significance at the district level, it remains an important sector to the LepelleNkumpi where it contributes more than 20% to the local GVA.
Tourism The Capricorn district municipality, with its air of myth, legend and prehistoric civilization, is a popular ecotourism destination in Limpopo, with no shortage of natural, historical and cultural attractions. The district takes its name from the Tropic of Capricorn, one of the five major circles of latitude that mark maps of the earth and which runs directly through this diverse landscape. The city has a certain charm to it, whether it be from the wide, jacaranda-lined avenues or the architecture of times gone by that is so evident.

The most important irrigation schemes in the region are Lower –Letaba, Blyde irrigation and Middle Letaba. The region has future agricultural potential highly concentrated in subtropical fruit, citrus fruit production and vegetables. Unutilized potential is estimated at between 10 000 to 70 000 hectares.
Mining Although it can be said that this region is mostly agricultural, it also contains a major mining cluster at Phalaborwa. Phalaborwa has been declared a Spatial Development Initiatives. The objectives of the SDI is to exploit the unutilized and underutilized potentials of the area by combining private and public sector resources in a sustainable manner. Other significant mineral zones in the region are the Murchison Greenstone Belt (Gravellotte towards Leewkop in the Kruger National Park , Giyani Greenbelt-from KNP in the south Western direction to the town of Giyani, and Rooiwater Complex Northern flank of Murchison. Mining development has a potential to contribute over R6300 million in direct investments through the different ventures/prospecting in the district. Mining development could in the short term form the corner stone of economic growth not only in the district but also in the whole of Limpopo Province.
Main economic sectors Mining, community service, trade, finance, transport, agriculture, electricity and construction.

Ndebele Village, Mabopane The Sekhukhune district municipality is a category C municipality and is located in the Limpopo province.
Agriculture Agriculture in the Sekhukhune district municipality is a mixture of both commercial and subsistence farming. The South Western corner of the district (Ephraim Mogale and Elias Motsoaledi local municipalities) specifically, contains one of the largest clusters of commercial agricultural production in South Africa. However, in spite of being an important contributor to employment within the district, agriculture remains a relatively marginal contributor (approximately 9, 7%) to the aggregate.
Mining Modern mining has been practiced in Sekhukhune for well over a century, and typically involved (as is still the case today) the extraction of and alusite, asbestos, chromite and platinum deposits from the Merensky Reef, which forms part of the mineral rich Bushveld Complex. In fact, the district features the world’s largest deposit of the platinum group metals (PGMs). What is striking about previous bouts of mining activity in the area is how changing commodity prices affected the opening, closing and, occasionally, re-opening of mines. When prices rose, new exploration and development took place in the Sekhukhune mining sector. Conversely, when prices fell, mines in the area closed. This is an important characteristic to take into consideration when providing infrastructure and housing to support expanding mining operations. Currently, 17 operational mines are found within the district, with the majority of activity situated along the Dilokong Corridor (R37 and R555 ).
Tourism The District hosts the scenic Flag Boshielo Dam area, the adjoining Schuinsdraai Nature Reserve, Potlake Nature Reserve and the Maleoskop Resort and Conservancy.
Main economic sectors Community service, mining, trade, agriculture, financial and business services.

Thohoyandou The Vhembe district municipality is a category C municipality located in the northern part of the Limpopo province.
Agriculture Vhembe is a prolific fresh produce grower, with large scale exports testifying to the quality of production and the efficiency of many farmers. Vhembe produces no less than 4,4% of South Africa’s total agricultural output, including 8,4% of the country’s sub-tropical fruit and 6,3% of its citrus, according to Kayamandi Development Services which has drawn up Vhembe district municipality’s Local Economic Development Strategy. Like so many other parts of South Africa, agricultural production in Vhembe is undertaken by a small number of relatively large, highly productive commercial producers and a multitude of fragmented, small-scale farmers. Vhembe is becoming a base for lucrative exports of exotic trees and ornamental shrubs. Foreign investors, in partnership with a local community, have revived a run-down, 250 hectare tree and shrub cultivation estate near Thohoyandou with a view to serving landscaping markets in the Middle East which is experiencing a boom in property development.
Mining De Beers’ Venetia diamond mine which has invested some R4 billion to extend its open pit operations and is now considering spending another R6 billion to dig for diamonds underground. De Beers is keen to procure more goods and services from Vhembe suppliers in line with the Vhembe LED Programme and the Limpopo Provincial Growth and Development Strategy. Vhembe has an abundance of coal, but mining the deposits is a challenge which is only now being taken up. With some 2 billion tons of reserves, the expansive Soutpansberg coal field which stretches across central Vhembe has only one mine: Exxaro’s Tshikondeni colliery which produces hard coking coal for the South African steel industry but which has a remaining life of less than 10 years.
Main economic sectors Mining, community services and finance.

The province is a summer-rainfall area divided by the escarpment into the Highveld region with cold frosty winters, and the Lowveld region with mild winters and a subtropical climate. The escarpment area sometimes experiences snow on high ground. Thick mist is common during the hot, humid summers. An abundance of citrus fruit and many other subtropical fruit – ma goes, avocados, litchis, bananas, papayas, granadillas, guavas – as well as nuts and a variety of vegetables are produced here. Mbombela is the second-largest citrus-producing area in South Africa and is responsible for one third of the country’s export in oranges. The Institute for Tropical and Subtropical Crops is situated in Mbombela. Groblersdal is an important irrigation area, which yields a wide variety of products such as citrus fruit, cotton, tobacco, wheat and vegetables. Carolina-Bethal-Ermelo is mainly a sheep-farming area, but potatoes, sunflowers, maize and peanuts are also produced in this region.
INDUSTRY AND MANUFACTURING
Premier, Ms Refilwe Mtshweni Mpumalanga
Most of the manufacturing production in Mpumalanga occurs in the southern Highveld region, especially in the Highveld Ridge where large petrochemical industries such as Sasol II and III are located. Large-scale manufacturing occurs especially in the northern Highveld area, in particular, chrome alloy and steel manufacturing. In the Lowveld sub region, industries are concentrated around the manufacturing of products from agricultural and raw forestry material. The growth in demand for goods and services for export via Maputo will stimulate manufacturing in the province. Mpumalanga is very rich in coal reserves. The country’s major power stations, three of which are the biggest in the southern hemisphere, are situated in this province.

Agriculture Ehlanzeni District is characterized by a subtropical climate, which makes it an ideally suited region for the cultivation of subtropical, citrus and deciduous fruits such as mangoes, litchis, papaws, bananas, avocados, guavas, granadillas and tomatoes. Nuts, tobacco, wood and vegetables are other crops grown in Ehlanzeni area. Agricultural activities compete with forestry in terms of the resource base. The areas of Mbombela, White River, Barberton and Bushbuckridge form the second largest citrus producing area in the country. The Barberton area is the largest irrigable area, which produces citrus, cotton, tobacco, wheat and vegetables. Ehlanzeni is also well suited for sugar, livestock and game farming.
Forestry Forestry at Ehlanzeni area dominates the land use and is an important contributor to the economy. Large-scale forestation is found throughout the district with the important areas in Mbombela, Pilgrim’s Rest, Sabie and Graskop. There is also direct competition between forestry and agriculture, but in most cases, the forested land is steep or rugged and not suitable for agriculture. Thirty nine of the 148 primary processing plants in the country are located in Mpumlanga Province, among these are the largest integrated pulp and paper mill in Africa (SappiNgodwana), the largest softwood sawmill in Africa (Mondi Sabie) and the largest panel and board plant in South Africa (Sappi Novoboard) (MII, 2003).

In total 23% of the district’s land surface is under cultivation, of which approximately 99% constitutes commercial dry land under grains. Significantly, the area between Carolina, Bethal and Ermelo produces the largest number of sheep and wool quantity in South Africa.
Forestry Whilst commercial agriculture dominates the central and western extents of the district, the eastern extents are characterised by a north – south running band of commercial forestry stretching all the way from Carolina and Warburton in the north, to Amsterdam and Piet Retief in the south. The majority of the plantations found within the district are privately owned, either by Sappi or Mondi (now York Timbers). Forestry areas mainly consist of pine, eucalyptus and wattle plantations. Wood from the plantations are primarily used in the production of structural timber for housing, and the manufacturing of joinery packaging such as pallets, boxes and cable drums.

Loskop Dam Spillway The Nkangala District Municipality is a Category C municipality in the Mpumalanga province. It is one of the three districts in the province, making up 22% of its geographical area.
Economy Nkangala is at the economic hub of Mpumalanga, and is rich in minerals and natural resources. The district is host to the Maputo corridor which brings increased potential for economic growth and tourism development. The proximity to Gauteng opens up opportunities to a larger market, which is of benefit to the district’s agricultural and manufacturing sectors. There is further potential in exporting goods that provides opportunities within the district. The relatively large economies of Steve Tshwete (Middelburg) and Emalahleni (Witbank) sustain the economy of the Nkangala district to a large extent. The economy of these centres is mainly based on the steel industry with high reliance on the manufacturing sector which makes the region vulnerable to economic cycles. The south western region of the district referred to as the Energy Mecca of South Africa, due to the large deposits of coal reserves and associated power stations. The mining, petrochemicals and steel sectors are dominated by a few global-level companies, with relatively few job opportunities being created due to their capital intensive nature.
Agriculture Agriculture is very important to the economy of the district. The southern regions of Nkangala are suitable to crop farming, specifically for fresh produce such as maize and vegetables. The northern regions are suitable for cattle farming and game farms. Agri-processing and export opportunities in view of the linkages to two harbours are not fully utilised while agricultural activity in Thembisile Hani and Dr JS Moroka is at a very low (mainly subsistence) level. The Nkangala district offers considerable tourism potential. The economy of the eastern areas of the district is already growing due to the increasing popularity of tourist destinations in the Emakhazeni municipality.

Agriculture Work in North West Farm The Ngaka Modiri Molema District Municipality is a category C municipality situated in the North West province. The agriculture, culture and tourism has been identified as the anchor of economic growth especially where poverty, unemployment and inequality are rampant. All other sectors such as mining, manufacturing and retail would serve as offshoot to ACT. This will contribute to the national mandate of eradicating poverty to 0%, reducing unemployment by 6% and inequality by 0.60% by 2030. The Ngaka Modiri Molema District Municipality has an important role to play in setting the framework for growth and outlining the necessary actions to stimulate growth in areas such as innovation, research and development, skills, exports and entrepreneurship. This also means identifying and supporting business growth in areas where there is the greatest potential, whilst ensuring that the necessary economic infrastructure is in place to capitalize on the existing strength and opportunities. The opportunities we offer: •
•

Mineral beneficiation has the potential to unlock manufacturing opportunities that will contribute significantly to the provincial economy through value added manufactured products. The manufacturing centre to support the above initiative is underway. Agro processing is another sector in which manufacturing can originate to create greater impetus to diversification and consequently higher economic growth. Fishing and Mari culture has the potential to mitigating the future negative socio economic impact associated with diamond mining downscaling. Tourism Industry has blossomed largely as a result of the opening up of SA as a long haul tourist destination for the world travellers. Space Technology brings a lot of opportunities to the NC. Social Accounting Matrix will be used to identify opportunities to diversify and develop sub sectors of manufacturing and agro processing.

Frances Baard Mining Museum The Frances Baard district municipality is a category C municipality located in the far eastern portion of the Northern Cape Province.
Agriculture The main agricultural produce in the area is wheat, fruit, peanuts, maize, cotton olives, cattle, game farming, viticulture, fishing and vegetables. According to the agricultural industries profile completed by the Department of Agriculture and Land Reform (2008) most of these industries are well developed within the Northern Cape, but very little value adding and processing is taking place within the area. This provides an opportunity for expansion in agricultural activities i.e. canning, packaging, use of water wise plants and water management. Various linkages exist for agriculture in the Frances Baard district municipality. There are strong backward linkages with various sectors, such as the manufacturing sector for the production of machinery and fertilisers, the transport sector for the transport of inputs, as well as the electricity and water sector for the provision of adequate water supplies to farmlands for irrigation and other processes.
Mining Mining in the Frances Baard district municipality consists mainly of diamond mining, which has been the cornerstone of Frances Baard district’s economy. Diamond mining has also contributed largely to the economic development of Kimberley, which was not established because of proximity to rivers or arable land but because of the presence of the Kimerlite pipes. The Kimberlite pipes have yielded large quantities of diamonds over the past 140 years.
Tourism The Frances Baard district municipality provides a variety of tourist attractions which range from natural beauty attractions such as the river systems and the wide open savannah to manmade attraction such as the Big Hole, historic museums, Vaal Harts irrigation system and historic land sites.
Main Economic sectors Mining, agriculture, construction, electricity, community services, trade and transport

Tourism Nature-based tourism (ecotourism) is the prime tourist attraction to the Northern Cape Province. Overall accessibility and remoteness to tourist attractions have proven to be two major limiting factors for tourism growth in the province. Tourist attractions in John Taolo Gaetsewe district include the Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park, the Moffat Mission Station, Nature Reserve, the Eye, the Wonderwerk Cave, and many others.
Mining The district is one of the richest mining regions in the Northern Cape with manganese ore, iron- ore and tiger’s eye being some of the main minerals. The Sishen iron-ore mine is one of the largest open cast mines in the world and the iron-ore railway from Sishen to Saldanha is one of the longest iron-ore carriers in the world. The Mining sector is the only sector with a comparative advantage in the John Taolo Gaetsewe district.

Mountainous region in Springbok The Namakwa district municipality is a category C municipality located in the Northern Cape Province.
Tourism Namakwa is a tourist destination of choice where tourists can watch wild flowers during the spring. The banks of the Orange River as well as the Namakwa coastline offer great hiking and 4x4 excursions for the outdoor enthusiast, while the nomadic Nama culture of the region is a unique draw card. Stargazing in Sutherland, tasting Karoo Lamb chops in the Hantam area and picturesque scenic drives in the Kamiesberg are also popular among our existing tourist market. The Namakwa region consists of the former Namaqualand and Hantam Karoo regions, and is bordered by the Orange River to the north and the Atlantic Ocean to the west. Geographically, the region can be described as a semi desert area with hot summers, little rainfall and cold winters.
Agriculture The Namakwa District can be divided into a few agricultural types. Isolated cultivated land is located along the Orange River with reference to Henkries, Onseekpans, Coboop and Pella were dates and a verity of fruits are produced. Most parts of the southern and eastern areas focuses on sheep and wool farming. Numerous economic opportunities exist within the Abalone and Oyster production industry within the western areas of the district that can boost the District Economy.
Stock Farming Stock farming takes place throughout the whole region and is mainly focussed on small stock, consisting of sheep and goats. The sheep farming produces mutton and wool. The agricultural sector is one of the most important sub-sectors in the district and the second largest employer of labour. Although the livestock industry is seen as very competitive, especially at the local level, opportunities for expansion are limited due to natural resource base constraints. The district is one of very few areas in South Africa where high quality arable land together with water licenses from the Orange River are readily available for the economic development of local communities.
Main economic sectors Agriculture and tourism.

The Pixley Ka Seme district municipality is a category C municipality situated in the South-East of the Northern Cape.
Agriculture Pixley ka Seme is a district in which agriculture is the key economic activity with Siyancuma, Ubuntu and Siyathemba municipalities adding the most value in this sector and contributing 28.49% to the provincial gross value added (GVA) in this sector, but only 2.12% to the national GVA. The location quotient for agriculture in the district, with respect to the Northern Cape Province and South Africa, is 2.35% and 9.15% respectively. This indicates a comparative advantage of this sector implying that the sector has the potential to make a greater contribution to the GDPR of the district. The district management area has the highest location quotient followed by Ubuntu, Siyathemba and Thembelihle municipalities.
Mining The mining sector contribution to the GDPR of the district is less than that of agriculture and contributes only 1.14% to the provincial gross value added in this sector, with approximately 95% of the district contribution being attributed to that of Siyancuma municipality. The location quotient in this sector of 4.28% for Siyancuma municipality bears testament to the comparative advantage of this municipality with respect to the other municipalities in this sector. An abundance of Tiger’s Eye is present in the Siyathemba municipality. Although traces of other minerals are present the extent of its resource base is not known. The location quotient of this sector indicates that, although comparative advantages exist between municipalities in the district, the district does not display a comparative advantage in this sector with respect to the Northern Cape and South Africa.
Tourism Tourism is not identified as a sector in the standard industrial classification. It has, however, been identified as one of the six categories of economic potential according to which the South African space economy has been classified in the National Spatial Development Perspective (NSDP 2003). The tourism sector in the district contributes 15.6% to the provincial gross value added (GVA) The municipalities Emthanjeni, Kareeberg, Umsobomvu and Siyancuma contributes approximately 22.8%, 24.8%, 14.9% and 11.5% to the provincial gross value added (GVA) in this sector.

Upington The ZF Ngcawu district municipality is a category C municipality situated in the Northern Cape Province.
Agricultural Enterprises The Orange River Producers Alliance is a table grape industry that is renowned in as supplier of fresh table grapes to Europe with an output of more than 20 million cartons. (OABS, 2012) More than 90% of Africa’s total dried vine fruit arm production is produced through 1250 sultana grape growers in the Northern Cape who produced more than 50,000 tons in 2010. The sultanas produced here comprise more than 80% of that which is exported primarily to Europe and other eastern countries.
National Parks and Reserves The world famous Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park is found in this region. This tourist destination attracts thousands of tourists to the region on an annual basis and has thus a very positive influence on the smaller local tourist enterprises in the area. About 13km outside of Upington is the Spitskop Nature Reserve, which is managed by the Khara Hais municipality. Although this reserve does not fall specifically under the ZFM management, it plays a role in the tourism industry of the region. The Augrabies National Park which, like Spitskop, is not managed by ZF Mgcawu district municipality, but which has an important influence on tourism in the region.
Minerals and mining ZF Mgcawu’s economy is largely dominated by mining and agriculture. As far as can be established, no economically viable mineral resources have been found in the area, except for recent findings in the Rietfontein area. There are however small pockets of various minerals. The largest are copper and zinc of Areachap north of Upington. Various small concentrations of calcite, lead, fluorspar, barite, wolfram and amethyst have been mapped but not really at a notable scale. At the moment salt is being mined at two pans, namely Groot Witpan, 95 km northwest of Upington and at Witpan.

AGRICULTURE About 45% of South Africa’s agricultural exports move through the Western Cape and the value added in the sector amounts to just less than R21 billion per annum. The agricultural sector not only stimulates economic growth in the province, it also plays a major role in creating sustainable job opportunities. The department’s service area covers approximately 13 million hectares, of which 2 million hectares are under cultivation and 320 000 hectares are under irrigation. The Western Cape Department of Agriculture has a direct or indirect influence on the production of wine, deciduous fruit, citrus, grain, fynbos, vegetables, ostriches, small and large stock, as well as milk and dairy products. The department has also made a commitment to support alternative products and crops within the agricultural sector both in terms of finance and service.

ECONOMY In South Africa, the official narrow unemployment rate is estimated at 27.1% in the fourth quarter of 2018 (Stats SA). The Western Cape has South Africa’s lowest unemployment rate at a full 14% points below the national average on the expanded definition. It also has the lowest rural unemployment rate at 15.7% in South Africa (State of the Province Address 2019). The biggest driver of economic growth and job creation in the Province is the services sector. The Western Cape has managed to maintain its significant comparative trade advantage in the agri-processing value chain and several services sectors. Agri-processing and tourism are suitable sectors to support inclusive growth, as both are very labour intensive with rising productivity and allow for the creation of sustained jobs for all skill levels in both urban and rural areas. Both sectors can also be important earners of foreign exchange. The development of the gas sector allows for a transformation of the energy mix in the Western Cape to include more sustainable, affordable and environmentally friendly solutions. The clothing sector is benefiting from increased demand from local retailers and there are tentative signs of a turnaround in the industry. The construction sector is one of the key sectors to benefit from sustained growth in other sectors as it results in an increased need for infrastructure development. Due to these links to fast-growing sectors, infrastructure and construction growth in the Province is expected to continue to outpace growth in the rest of South Africa.

MAXIBIN – THE GREEN SOLUTION TO BUTT POLLUTION Did you know that about 4.5 trillion cigarettes are discarded each year worldwide, making them the most littered item on Earth? A 2020 study undertaken by Peter Ryan of UCT found that South Africa follows the international trend of cigarette butts consistently being the most littered plastic item collected in urban and coastal clean-ups with South Africans consuming about 23.49 billion cigarettes each year and over 15 billion (almost 65%) cigarette butts are thrown away onto the streets and end up in waterways, beaches and the ocean. https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0048969720318234#! Cigarette butts apart from being a fire-hazard, are toxic, as they contain nicotine, heavy metals, and many other chemicals, nor do they biodegrade as the filter is made of a plastic called cellulose acetate. This makes them hazardous for birds, marine and aquatic life as well as being detrimental to ground and other water sources. In addition, despite the known health risks associated with smoking, smoking is actually on the increase and even more so with the introduction of flavoured tobacco products and e-cigarettes, and as was evidenced during the tobacco ban in South Africa, smoking is a tough habit to break. Without Extended Producer Regulations in place for cigarette manufacturers, the responsible disposal of cigarette butts has become increasingly problematic. Whether for municipalities in public spaces, businesses in office parks and shopping centres, or individuals who do not have a satisfactory means of disposing of their butts. The problem has been exacerbated by the Tobacco Products Control Act which forced smokers into public spaces or designated smoking areas, and unfortunately the practice of casually ‘flicking’ cigarette butts into the street or out of a car window has become almost automatic and is seen as an “acceptable” form of littering.
Introducing Maxibin Maxibin provides an integrated solution for cigarette butt disposal, both in public, private or commercial spaces, as well as for personal and home use to ensure cigarette butts do not enter the natural environment and can be responsibly and sustainably disposed of.

Maxibin is proud to partner with ocean-i, a South African ocean-impact company driving innovative solutions towards addressing ocean plastic pollution such as cigarette butts, at source. In addition to developing new ways to maximize the recovery of cigarette butts, ocean-i is also investigating ways to recycle butts into new products and applications.
ocean-i cigarette butt disposal kit – for personal and home use The COVID lock-down resulted in a reduction of smokers in public and commercial spaces as people were forced to stay- and/or chose, to work from home, a situation that will most likely continue into the future. For this reason, ocean-i recently piloted and will soon be launching the ocean-i cigarette butt disposal kit and home collection service. The hygienic and easy-to-use ocean-i cigarette butt disposal kit is ideal for those working from home or spending time on the road, but equally for anyone who smokes outdoors. The ocean-i cigarette butt disposal kit includes an ashtray, pocket pouches, sealable butt disposal bags and storage bucket. To ensure cigarette butts do not enter the natural environment via disposal into home dustbins which end up in general landfill, and can be responsibly and sustainably disposed of, ocean-i will offer to collect the cigarette butts from your home. Collections will be easily arranged using ocean-i #nobutts app and done by BBBEE-certified drivers. Maxibin is encouraging entities to urge their staff or customers to sign up for an ocean-i cigarette butt disposal kit for use at home and on the move.

Winelands in Stellenbosch The Cape Winelands District Municipality is a category C municipality situated in the Western Cape Province.
Economic Profile The District’s close proximity to the City of Cape Town and its port is an important factor in its economic growth. The sheltered valleys between mountains in the Cape Winelands are ideal for the cultivation of export-grade fruit such as apples, table grapes, olives, peaches and oranges. With the Cape Winelands District’s large market and the two major export harbours, as well as its natural beauty, well developed tourism, wine and agri-processing and other manufacturing industries, growing financial services and quality education, the district is well placed to participate in the Western Cape economy. The Cape Winelands is the second largest regional economy in the Western Cape with a total region gross domestic product GDP-R (constant prices, 2005) of R26.58 billion. Agriculture is also an important sector within the district, even though it’s overall contribution to the economy is not as substantial when compared to other sectors, it provides inputs, mainly grapes, apples, pears and peaches, for the manufacturing sector and supports many local tourism activities (wine tourism). The agricultural sector within this district plays an important role on a national level as a large proportion of horticultural products that are exported from South Africa originate from the Cape Winelands district and it is the largest wine producing area in South Africa. Factors that will have an adverse impact on the agriculture sector, such as increasing fuel prices, changes in labour legislation, input cost increases, the current drought, etc. will therefore also result in indirect adverse effects on other sectors within the district as many local sectors support the agriculture, forestry and fishing sector.
Tourism The Cape Winelands is vast and filled with events and happenings, so make sure you set enough time aside to enjoy the beautiful surroundings, taste wine, pick strawberries and participate in numerous events hosted by the various regions.The Cape Winelands is known as the culinary capital of South Africa; titillate your taste buds while savouring some of the world’s finest wines in Franschhoek. Taste locally produced cheeses, olives and export quality fruit and organic produce in Bonnievale and Ceres.

Beaufort West The Central Karoo District Municipality is a category C municipality located in the Western Cape Province.
Tourism With an almost unnaturally bright and startling blue sky and the most amazing landscapes with nature at its best, the Beaufort West region boasts a healthy climate and beautiful weather all year around. The endless horizon will give you the feeling of complete isolation from the rest of the world. With no cell phone reception in some areas you can almost touch the silence! A feeling of inner peace and relaxation will recharge your senses. A huge smile, the warmest hospitality and always the feeling of being very welcome, a trade mark of the Karoo, awaits you everywhere you go and is a sheer overwhelming and humbling experience. The Karoo will take you back in time. Far back in times, if you like. Too recently past centuries, with stunningly beautiful Victorian, Cape Dutch and Georgian architecture, to name but a few. With many vintage cars and even donkey carts still being modes of everyday transport. Telephone operators still connecting phone calls on a switchboard whilst always knowing more about the people than the local hair dressers! Go back thousands of years if you like, when visiting one of the numerous mystic sites of bushman paintings and engravings to learn more about the fascinating culture of the San, the first inhabitants of this area. You may even want to go back further than that! Dinosaur fossils, millions of years old and scattered in the open veld all around Beaufort West and the Central Karoo, with many of them not even discovered yet. Stunning rock formations of the same age or older will leave you in awe.
Top 5 reasons for investing in the Central Karoo • • • •
The Central Karoo District has a strong agriculture base for sheep and goats It has a growing Tourism sector Currently mineral and natural gas reserves are under-utilised The N1 key arterial has thousands of potential customers passing

Scenic Route in Overberg The Overberg District Municipality is a category C municipality situated in the Western Cape Province.
Agriculture Fresh water is abundant, allowing for a diversity of agricultural activities that includes fruit and vegetable cultivation, grain production and the farming of sheep, cattle and ostrich as well as the breeding of horses. South Africa’s second largest lake system, the Soetendaals Vlei is also found within its borders. The Overberg has numerous threatened habitats encompassed within its boundaries, including the Renosterveld which only remains in isolated pockets between agricultural lands. Efforts are underway by conservation agencies and NGO’s, including the Flower Valley Trust to work with land owners to ensure sustainable agricultural practices that can protect the remaining Renosterveld patches. As well as being home to numerous protected plant species the Overberg is also home to the Bontebok, Agulhas-Long Billed Lark and South Africa’s national bird the Blue Crane.
Tourism Within driving distance of one of South Africa’s busiest cities, lies a region of contrasts and wonder. The Overberg has rugged mountain ranges, fynbos, rolling wheat and canola fields, and splendid coastal vistas. It is for you to reflect, discover and maybe even have the adventure of a lifetime. Driving southeast on the N2 from Cape Town, visitors will climb the Hottentots Holland Mountains via Sir Lowry’s Pass just after Somerset West. Fortunately, modern travellers have the luxury of a well-built highway, not like the early settlers who struggled over the mountain with ox and wagon. Once on the other side of the mountain, the traveller will find a myriad of roads into the Overberg where the land, mountains, sea and people tell their own story. The Overberg is a region that stretches along coasts with beautiful beaches, and over mountain ranges with interesting geological formations, abundant birdlife and fynbos. The roads will take you on a journey through valleys with picturesque vineyards, orchards and beautiful landscapes of green, gold and brown. Memories from the past – as illustrated by the Overberg’s rich collection of mission stations, ship wrecks and old architectural treasures – exist harmoniously with new developments in our towns, ensuring visitors find all they need.
Main economic sectors Insurance, finance, real estate, business services, manufacturing, agriculture, tourism, construction, transport, forestry and fishing, wholesale and retail trade, storage, social and personal services.

Wheat Gardenfields Route The West Coast District Municipality is a category C municipality located in the Western Cape Province.
Tourism This sector includes business and leisure tourism, which is already a major contributor to the economy of the province. It directly contributes R17 billion to the region and has so far created 204 000 formal jobs in the province. It was chosen for initial focus because we believe that, by working together, we can grow these figures substantially. Tourism also creates jobs on all skills levels, but especially among medium- and low skilled residents.
Agri-processing With a focus on food, beverages, exports and domestic product potential, agri-processing currently contributes R12 billion to the local economy and has created 79 000 jobs in the province. By helping this industry to grow, we can create jobs for residents in our rural areas. Through Project Khulisa, we aim to grow agri-processing in the Western Cape by: • Exploring new infrastructure projects • Improving regulation for this industry •
Promoting and supporting Western Cape products locally and abroad.
Oil and gas This sector is a national focus area that has created 35 000 formal jobs in the province and we are focusing on this sector as many jobs can be created for artisans in midstream services such as rig repair. We believe Project Khulisa can help generate growth and jobs in this sector by: • Ensuring that the government remains on track with its plan to transform Saldanha into a rig repair hub. •
Developing the skills we need to service rigs.
Main economic sectors Tourism, insurance, general government, transport, construction, agriculture, forestry and fishing, manufacturing, storage, real estate, business services, social and personal services.
