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.

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 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 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.

Demographics
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 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.

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.

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.
Business
The City of Tshwane metropolitan municipality is a category A municipality situated in the Gauteng province.
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.

KwaZulu-Natal is a traveller’s dream and with the seemingly perpetual summer of our subtropical climate, it is not surprising that we are famous for our outdoor activities, beaches, natural environment, sporting events and the variety of adventure activities.
KwaZulu-Natal’s emergence as a hub of industrial development in subSaharan 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 world-class 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.
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.

Enterprise Sharing is a customisable and scalable solution that lets state institutions size their shared voice, data, Closed User Group voice usage, and SMS bundles at cost-effective rates.
These products are available through a standardised billing structure that is scalable and simple to manage. The second solution is called Business All Day, and lets users pay for the resources they use on a monthly basis. This package is based on flat rates that are set for voice, data, SMS, and Closed User Group voice usage.

It believes that the relationship with the government has incredible potential for unprecedented national change.
Both of these offerings will involve MTN Business splitting the state employee's SIM card into an enterprise wallet and a personal wallet, with the state institution allocating resources and managing the enterprise wallet. The personal wallet is then the responsibility of the user and is what they will use for their non-work mobile costs.

King Cetshwayo district municipality offers highly favourable agricultural conditions as it has extremely fertile soils, good rainfall and enjoys an excellent, frost-free climate all year round. A wide variety of bio-climatic conditions are on offer across the district, from the mountainous area of Nkandla down to the coastline. The agricultural sector is a dual economy, consisting of commercial agriculture on one hand and traditional agriculture on the other. The commercial agricultural economy is based on the sugar and forestry industries. Traditional agriculture is practiced on most of the tribal lands in the district and has enormous potential for growth with agriculture as a niche area. At King Cetshwayo district municipality giant steps have been taken in initiating skills transfer schemes and on-the-job training for members of our communities in the implementation of the majority of our capital infrastructure projects. The Local Economic Development initiatives have also led to job creation and entrepreneurship opportu nities for our people. Partnerships with the Department of Agriculture and Poultry growers are assisting to develop commercial farmers. There have been further partnerships with IThala Development Finance Corporation for training of SMME’s.

For decades the Greater South Coast has been recognised as one of the most popular holiday and lifestyle destinations in South Africa. Many consider the South Coast as “South Africa’s Own Caribbean”. We have an abundance of tourism assets, attractions and experiences set within pristine coastal and hinterland environments that have consistently hosted domestic and foreign visitors and in many instances secured subsequent investment in property and tourism/leisure related projects and other business enterprises within the sector’s value chain. The tourism product mix is excellently which encompasses our beach, eco-cultural and activity landscapes along the coast, its undulating hinterland and the inherent cultural tapestries and vibrant welcoming communities.

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.

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.

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.

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-es tablished 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.

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.

Agriculture is the backbone of any developing economy. It is the sector that is able to create more sustainable jobs, absorbing even the unskilled and semiskilled workers, and as such bring about sustainable rural development. The district (Lowveld region) contributes significantly towards the activity of agriculture on the provincial level. About 50% of the farm income in the province in Horticulture is earned in the district. Most important crops in terms of monetary value are citrus, vegetables and subtropical fruit. 6,7% of the land can be considered arable of which 43% is under irrigation, which by far the most of all districts in the province. 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
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 ).
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.
The District hosts the scenic Flag Boshielo Dam area, the adjoining Schuinsdraai Nature Reserve, Potlake Nature Reserve and the Maleoskop Resort and Conservancy.

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.

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.

Demographics
As a key contributor to the Provincial GGP at 28.8%, agricultural and forestry development in Waterberg is seen as another key catalyst for significant economic development. Being predominantly rural, most of the district is suited for livestock production but also with some major cropping taking place in cotton, sunflower, tobacco, and soya bean production. The district is supporting agricultural growth by developing a policy for the subdivision of agricultural land in collaboration with the land claims commission and is negotiating the acquisition of state land for agricultural production.

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.

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.

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 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.

Frances Baard District Municipality
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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
AGRICULTURE
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.
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.

Cape Town is Africa’s most visited tourist destination and the recipient of numerous travel and destination awards. Tourism, conferences and conventions provide almost 10% of the province’s GDP and these activities are an important driver of economic growth.
The City of Cape Town Metropolitan Municipality is a category A municipality and is situated in the Southern Peninsula of the Western Cape Province.
Local seat – Cape Town Province area – 129 462km2
The City has started on a 5-year journey to transform the way we do business and take Cape Town to the next level. We’ve called this initiative the Organisational Development and Transformation Plan, or ODTP. The ODTP aims to streamline the City’s administrative structures and improve service delivery for residents. By adopting a holistic approach, we are building a flexible and responsive organisation that can respond to rapidly changing circumstances and which puts your needs first. We are working hard to achieve this through continuous community and stakeholder engagement and by adapting our vision, strategy and policies to reflect this new customer-centric operating model. While we have already made great progress as a city, we can do more. The ODTP will ensure that we become an organisation that listens, talks and is more responsive to the needs of communities. There will be challenges along the way but by working together we will be successful. We have prioritised the following 11 areas of delivery to help us achieve this:
Population growth – 1.56% p.a.

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.

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 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.

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.
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.

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.
