People in the former Transkei region are dependent on cattle, maize and sorghum farming.

CONTACT INFORMATION

The Free State, a province of wide horizons and blue skies, farmland, mountains, goldfields and widely dis-persed towns, lies in the heart of South Africa, with Le-sotho nestling in the hollow of its bean-like shape. Be-tween the Vaal River in the north and the Orange River in the south, this immense rolling prairie stretches as far as the eye can see.In May 2011, Manguang, comprising Bloemfontein, Botshabelo and Thaba Nchu, became South Africa’s newest metropolitan authority. It has an established institutional, educational and administrative infra-structure, and houses the Supreme Court of Appeal.Important towns include Welkom, the heart of the goldfields and one of the few completely preplanned cities in the world; Odendaalsrus, another gold-min-ing town; Sasolburg, which owes its existence to the petrol-from-coal; Kroonstad, an important agricultur-al, administrative and educational centre; Parys, on the banks of the Vaal River; Phuthaditjhaba, well known for the beautiful handcrafted items; and Bethlehem, gateway to the Eastern Highlands of the Free State. The N1, which is the artery between Gauteng and the Western and Eastern Cape, passes through the middle of the Free State. Some of South Africa’s most valued San rock art can be found in the Free State with oher key tourism attrac-tions including the annual air show in Bethlehem and the Cherry Festival in Ficksburg, amongst others.The Vredefort Dome, 10 km in diameter, was voted South Africa’s seventh World Heritage Site in 2005.

The most important manufacturing subsectors, be-sides chemicals, are food and beverages, textiles, furniture, agri-processing, jewellery and engineering products.

Whether you’re in the mood for a quiet retreat in the countryside or an in-vigorating taste of local life and culture, you’ll find the Eagle Route in the Thabo Mofutsanyane district a true feast for the senses. Spanning the Free State’s southern border with Lesotho, the route runs from Ficksburg to Harrismith through some of the most picturesque landscape in the country - including the famous ‘Cher-ry Region’. Along the way it takes in majestic moun-tain views, interesting historical monuments, pristine nature reserves and fascinating towns. Whether you’re an outdoor enthusiast or a culture vulture, there’s plenty to see and do: from dinosaur fossils, rock paint-ings and arts & crafts to ski slopes, horse trails, hot air ballooning and 4X4 trips.

The province blends cultures, colours and first- and third-world tra-ditions in a spirited mix, flavoured by a number of for-eign influences.Johannesburg, widely referred to as Joburg and nick-named “Egoli” (Place of Gold), is the capital of the prov-ince and a city of contrasts. South of Johannesburg is Soweto, developed as a township for black people un-der the apartheid system. Some 50 km north of Johannesburg lies Pretoria, the administrative capital of South Africa and home to the Union Buildings, representing the official seat of the South African Government and housing the offices of the country’s President.The industrial area of Rosslyn and the townships of Soshanguve and GaRankuwa are situated north of Pretoria.

METRO ECONOMY

CONTACT INFORMATION

Johannesburg, known colloquially as Joburg or Jozi, is the economic capital of South Africa and Africa’s most powerful economy, generating some 17 percent of SA’s wealth, with a growth rate higher than that of the national economy. It is the gateway to Africa. The City of Johanesburg is bordered by The City of Tshwane to the North, Ekurhuleni Metropolitan to the east, Sed-ibeng District to the South and West Rand District to the West.As the continent’s economic hub, it’s the place where business starts. Joburg ranked No 1 in Africa and No 11 globally as best emerging market centre of commerce (2008 MasterCard survey). The City’s growth is due to its visionary leadership, diversification to globally fast growing sectors, its socio-economic development and a conducive climate for foreign direct investment (FDI).It is a primary business city, a dynamic centre of pro-

duction, innovation, trade, finance and services.The city is the centre of the gold and diamond trade, due to its location on the mineral-rich Witwatersrand. Johannesburg is serviced by OR Tambo International Airport and recseria airport make Johannesburg the gateway for air travel to sub-Saharan Africa. Johannesburg is home to the Constitutional Court and has a host of cultural, heritage and historical at-tractions, which includes Soweto.


City of Johannesburg- economic powerhouse of Africa

Johannesburg, also known as Joburg, Jozi or Egoli (“Place of Gold”), is the economic powerhouse of Af-rica, and gateway to many parts of the world. Over 55 international airlines link the city to major centres worldwide, making Johannesburg one of the most accessible centres on the continent. One of Johannesburg’s major competitive advantag-es is its international recognition as the business and commercial capital of the African continent. Given its accessibility by air (55 international airlines fly in to Joburg) that 75% of corporate headquarters are based in the city, and being the only city in South Africa that boasts four of the venues capable of hosting more than 5000 delegates – Johannesburg’s success as a tourism destination pivots on business.Joburg is Open for Business – and we have the capac-ity to host events across a spectrum of size, scope and price. Our conventions bureau team is also primed to assist with supplying all the necessary advice and sup-port services relating to meetings, conventions, exhibi-tions and incentives.Johannesburg is a versatile business and mega-events destination, capable of handing a vast array of events - from small meetings to massive international gather-ings, conventions, concerts and sports tourna-ments.

Now proudly taking its place as Africa’s second largest city, Joburg is growing at an unprecedented rate – con-stantly and continuously transforming itself. It’s seen not only as the economic hub of the Continent, but also as offering a plethora of cultural, leisure, sporting, fashion and lifestyle activities that is fast making us the leading destination for both leisure and business tourists. Joburg’s legendary shopping, dining, enter-tainment and nightlife is complimented by fabulous weather as well as an astonishing array of facilities like spectacular golf courses, gyms, spa’s, wellness centres which add to its appeal as a destination.With excellent infrastructure, unique transport fea-tures (like the high speed Gautrain and the Rea Vaya Bus Rapid Transit system), increased hotel inventory, spectacular stadiums and magnificent architecture, it’s no wonder that Johannesburg was voted the world’s 3rd best city in Wallpaper magazine’s Wallpaper* Design Awards in early 2011.

Johannesburg has, once again, proved to be a world-class African city.Its popularity among world travellers is on the ascendancy. The city has shown a 53,6% growth in the number of international visitors between 2009 and 2013, propelling it to a spot in the MasterCard Index’s top 20 fastest growing cities in the world. The city attained this feat despite achieving a marginal 5,5% growth in the number of international visitors in 2012.With a projected 2,54 million international travellers expected to visit Johannes-burg in 2013, the city is set to become the most popular tourist destination in Af-rica, according to the third edition of the MasterCard Index of Global Destination Cities released recently.Johannesburg also comes out tops in Africa in terms of international visitor spending, with $2,7 billion estimated to be injected into the city this year, a per-centage point increase compared with 2012’s spending.“For the first time in the index’s three-year history, Johannesburg occupies the number one rank in terms of expected international visitor arrivals in Africa ... (It) has grown from strength to strength,” said MasterCard SA President Philip Panaino.The MasterCard Index of Global Destination Cities ranks cities in terms of the number of their total international visitor arrivals and the cross-border spending by these same visitors in the destination cities. Johannesburg is one of 13 African cities featured on the index. The others are Cape Town and Durban (South Afri-ca), Cairo (Egypt), Casablanca (Morocco), Accra (Ghana), Nairobi (Kenya), Beira and Maputo (Mozambique), Dakar (Senegal), Kampala (Uganda), Lagos (Nigeria) and Tunis (Tunisia).The City of Johannesburg, said it was encouraging to see Johannesburg up there with the best and the increase in the number of international tourists had major economic spin-offs for the city.Johannesburg must, however, not only be seen as a business tourist destination or business stopover, but also as a city that offered exciting experiences in the wider tourism sphere and tourists are urged to spend an extra day or two explor-ing the City of Johannesburg.

CONTACT INFORMATION

The City of Tshwane Municipality was established in May 2011 through the integration of various munici-palities and councils that had previously served the greater Pretoria regime and surrounding areas. The new City of Tshwane which has a Mayoral Execu-tive System combined with a ward participatory; it has 105 wards, 210 councillors and about 2,5 million residents, and is divided into seven regions. It covers 6 368km² of Gauteng’s 19 055km² and stretches almost 121 km from east to west and 108 km from north to south making it the third-largest city in the world in terms of land area, after New York and Tokyo/Yoko-hama. As the administrative seat of Government and hosting a number of Embassies, City of Tshwane has proven to be a leader on the African continent in providing affordable industrial sites, various industries, office space, education and research facilities.An estimated 90% of all research and development in South Africa is conducted here by institutions such as Armscor, the Medical Research Council, the Council for Scientific and Industrial Research, the Human Sciences Research Council and educational institutions such as the University of South Africa and Tshwane University of Technology.

Main Economic SectorsThe City’s principle economic sectors include: services: 70%, commerce: 13%, industry 21% and other: 2 %. The City’s Growth and Development strategy, aims to:• Accelerate growth, • Contribute towards the provincial economic

growth target of 9%;

• Reduce unemployment by 50% by the year 2014; • Create an environment that will ensure a more bal-

anced sharing of benefits between the first and second economies;

• Address gender focused issues in the economy by dealing with the inequalities and mainstreaming women, youth and the disabled; and develop a monitoring mechanism to evaluate projects.


One of the key projects identified was the West Capital

Development. This is a response to address the shortage of

student accommodation in the inner city. It is also a practical

project through which densification can be applied to address

the spatial challenges of the city, such as urban sprawl.

The inner city of Tshwane is of strategic significance locally

and nationally. A large part of Tshwane’s international profile

and national importance is captured in its symbolic role

as national capital. The City of Tshwane will redevelop the

western part of the city over the next five to eight years at a

cost of R6 billion. This is in line with its Tshwane 2055 vision

to modernise the capital’s core and reversing the historic

policy of confining particular groups to a certain space.

The West Capital project will provide a mixed-use

development where people can live, play, work and study.

The project consists of residential accommodation that will

include a student village, as well as mixed land use consisting

of retail and commercial components, inner city housing

and health facilities. The West Capital Development node

was initially envisaged as a student village in response to

the shortage of student accommodation. This area is close

to various institutions of learning, such as the University of

Pretoria, the University of South Africa and the Tshwane

University of Technology.

The City is forging ahead with its plans and has released

portions of land for redevelopment proposals for the West

Capital Development project, located to the west of the

Tshwane CBD. The Executive Mayor of Tshwane, Councillor

Kgosientso Ramokgopa, said that in order to achieve the

City’s vision of diversified land use, the project proposes

a development catalyst that will encourage sustainable

communities.

Ramokgopa says the West Capital Development is not a

simple land release and investment creation opportunity.

It is an innovative service delivery and economic growth

propeller that will lay the foundation for repositioning and

regenerating the identified area west of the city. The anchor

development node consists of four portions of land, about 28

hectares in total, which will become catalysts for stimulating

the necessary activity to sustain viable communities.

West Capital project to modernise inner city space

Phase 1 will commence with the Schubart Park residential complex

that, in the light of the recent Constitutional Court decision, serves

to be a natural first phase that can be implemented over a relatively

short period. The provision of housing opportunities at this scale

will validate the provision of mixed land uses such as retail and

social amenities that are proposed in the adjoining phases.

The anticipated timeline for the first phase is about two and a half

years depending on the final agreement regarding Schubart Park.

The estimated cost is about R1,25 billion.

In its efforts to address the rising demand and ensuring that

housing provision is fast-tracked, the City has in some instances

partnered with private developers. A development agreement was

concluded with the Tsoseletso Consortium, whose purpose is to do

redevelopment in terms of the West Capital Phase 1 project.

The West Capital Development will adhere to the spatial

sustainability requirement of the Tshwane 2055 vision, which

promotes living environments where consumption and production

do not damage the environment. The project will be built on the

pillars of green buildings, green spaces and sustainable principles.

The City of Tshwane embarked on an intensive community participation process in 2012 to develop a clear vision for 2055. The Tshwane 2055 vision saw the emergence of a number of key projects through which the city’s economic and social potential can be leveraged.

KwaZulu-Natal , or “KZN” as it is widely known, is one of the country’s most popular holiday destinations. This verdant region includes South Africa’s lush sub-tropical east coast. Washed by the warm Indian Ocean, it stretches from Port Edward in the south, and north-wards to the Mozambique boundary.The province also boasts sweeping savanna in the east, and the majestic Drakensberg mountain range in the west. The summer-rainfall coastal regions are hot and hu-mid, with a subtropical climate. The Midlands area is drier, with extremely cold conditions in winter and snow on the high-lying ground. In the north, the sub-tropical strip extends around Swaziland to the edge of the escarpment. The province has a population of more than 10 million people living on 92 100 km2 of land. isiZulu is spoken by the majority of the people, followed by English. Visitors to KwaZulu-Natal can either disembark at King Shaka International Airport at La Mercy, north of Dur-ban or use the extensive national road network. There are also two major harbours – the port of Durban, which is one the busiest in Africa, and Richards Bay, which is an important coal-export harbour. The province boasts several nature reserves including the Royal Natal National Park, Giant’s Castle and the Kamberg Nature Reserve.It also has several tertiary institutions of learning, in-cluding:• University of KwaZulu-Natal• Durban Institute of Technology.

KwaZulu-Natal is the only province with a monarchy specifically provided for in the Constitution.

Industry and agricultureKwaZulu-Natal has a diverse industrial sector, with major industries having developed around the port of

Durban, as well as agricultural and forestry industries. Major industries in the province are agriculture, forest-ry, aluminium, petro-chemicals, automotive manufac-turing, steel production, plastics and packaging, paper and board manufacturing, and a range of industries associated with imports and exports though the two major ports of Durban and Richards Bay. Richards Bay is the centre of operations for South Af-rica’s aluminium industry. The Richards Bay Coal Termi-nal is instrumental in securing the country’s position as the world’s second-largest exporter of steam coal.Richards Bay Minerals is the largest sand-mining and mineral-processing operation in the world.The sugar-cane plantations along the Indian Ocean coastal belt form the mainstay of the region’s econo-my and agriculture. The coastal belt is also a large producer of subtropical fruit, while the farmers in the hinterland concentrate on vegetables, dairy and stock farming.Another major source of income is forestry in the ar-eas around Vryheid, Eshowe, Richmond, Harding and Ngome, which is also known for its tea plantations.

The municipal area stretches from Umkomaas in the south, includ-ing some tribal area in Umbumbulu, to Tongaat in the north, moving inland to Ndwedwe, and ends at Cato Ridge in the west.Significant strides have been made to address the key development challenges in eThekwini. While sig-nificant progress has been made in all areas, there is still some distance to go towards addressing the many challenges. The city’s vision is that “By 2020, eThekwini Municipality will be Africa’s most caring and liveable city.”To realise this vision, we believe there are basic ele-ments that all citizens, the business community and visitors must have:• Ease of movement in the city.• A safe environment in all parts of the municipal

DISTRICT ECONOMY


VisionTo be a World Class African Destination, with excellent services and quality of life for its people.

Situated on the east coast of KwaZulu-Natal, iLembe is set to become a major economic hub in the province. The N2 national highway running from Durban up through Richards Bay to Swaziland and Mozambique dissects the district. Three distinct development zones exist: the coastal strip with its residential and tourism components; the inland corridor which is influenced by the existence of major commercial agricultural activities, and the rural hinterland. The newly developed King Shaka International Airport and Dube TradePort is pivotal to the district’s future success. The development has created immense op-portunities for growth and stimulation of economic initiatives. Spinoffs include: • High value manufacturing • Business and logistics parks • Research and technology parks

• Warehousing and distribution centres • Entertainment and shopping • Hotels and residential development

The diverse culture of this region has been shaped by people from three continents; Africa, India, and Eu-rope, offering a unique vibrancy to the municipality. The main drivers of the economy are the agriculture, tourism and services sectors. The excellent climate with lots of sunshine and plenti-ful rain allows for a variety of year round agricultural activities. In a pilot project for the province, a focus on agriculture in the rural areas will ensure that iLembe will enjoy receiving carbon credits. The commerce and services sector are found in all the main urban centres throughout the district especially in KwaDukuza and Ballito. These incorporate: • Wholesale / retail trade • Transport / storage • Communication • Financial / insurance • Real estate • Business / community / social / personal services • Government services.

DISTRICT ECONOMY


uMzinyathi means ‘home of the buffalo’ and has a total area of 8 079 square kilometers and is located in the north 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.The more developed urban areas include Dundee, which is the administrative seat of uMzinyathi District Municipality, and Greytown. Greytown can be viewed as a strong regional centre with substantial commercial and agricultural activity. In Nquthu and Msinga there is a dominance of the three peri-urban settlements of Tugela Ferry, Pomeroy and Keates Drift. The population densities of these three areas are higher than those of the rest of the area.In general, the District has a temperate climate. Frost occurs only in parts of uMzinyathi in winter. Rainfall varies throughout - from more than 800 mm in En-dumeni and Umvoti, to less than 400 mm in parts of Msinga. The topography is undulating, although some areas are steeper than others. uMzinyathi is bisected by several significant rivers, including the Tugela, Mooi, Umvoti, Blood and Buffalo.

EconomyThe main contributions to the economy come from the agriculture, mining, construction, services and trade sectors. Dundee and Glencoe have well estab-lished and serviced areas for light to medium industry.

AgricultureThe 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.

TourismUmzinyathi’s main tourism resources are the Anglo-Boer and Anglo-Zulu battlefields which cater to a niche market interested in both war history and Zulu cultural heritage.Visitors to the area are mainly domestic tourists, al-though some foreign tourists pass through the regionen route to other attractions outside the node such as the Drakensburg, Swaziland or the Kruger NationalPark.

DISTRICT ECONOMY


Zululand is named after the inhabitants of the area, the Zulus. ‘Zulu’ means ‘heaven’ in the Zulu language. Zululand is peaceful, with green hills of rich soil, wav-ing grasslands, abundant forests, and an unhurried lifestyle.The major towns of Vryheid and Ulundi, are both well located in relation to the national road and rail net-works. Route P700 between Ulundi and Richards Bay is presently under construction which will open up a major development corridor. Zululand borders on the kingdom of Swaziland, which is land locked and a trad-ing partner with South Africa.The coal- line corridor running from Richards Bay, through Ulundi, Vryheid and Paulpietersburg and on to the mining areas of Mpumalanga, is an important route in the national rail network.Vryheid is an active role-player as Zululand’s main commercial, industrial and business centre, with a well-developed physical, social and institutional infra-structure. Ulundi is ideally situated for office, industrial, commercial and tourism development. A plus point is that it serves as a market for a million people in the region.

AgricultureAgriculture provides the economic base of the area and agricultural opportunities range from commer-cial sugar cane and wattle farming, to livestock farm-ing and small scale agricultural production. Products farmed are maize, groundnuts, soya beans, sunflow-ers, and sorghum as well as sub-tropical fruit.In many places, game farming is replacing beef and private game farms, hunting lodges and photograph-ic safaris operate here.Tons of wildlife products, mainly plants, bark and tu-bers are sold at the Mona traditional market. The prod-ucts are transported to markets in Durban, Johannes-burg, Malawi, Botswana, Mozambique and Swaziland.

ManufacturingManufacturing includes food and beverages, clothing and textiles, leather, paper and paper products, print-ing and publishing, metal products, machinery and equipment.

PROVINCIAL ECONOMY

CONTACT INFORMATION

Limpopo, South Africa’s northern most province, shares borders with Mozambique, Zimbabwe and Bot-swana, making it the ideal gateway to Africa. Named after the Limpopo River that flows along its northern border, the province is rich in wildlife, spectacular scenery and a wealth of historical and cultural treas-ures.The province is linked to the Maputo Development Corridor through the Phalaborwa SDI, which is a network of rail and road corridors connecting to the major seaports, opening up Limpopo for trade and investment. This is complemented by the presence of smaller airports in centres such as Phalaborwa and Musina, as well as the Gateway International Airport in Polokwane, the capital city, which lies strategically in the centre of the province.The Great North Road, running through the centre of the province, strings together a series of interest-ing towns such as Bela-Bela, with its popular mineral spa; Modimolle with its beautiful Waterberg mountain range; Mokopane; Polokwane; Makhado at the foot of the Soutpansberg mountain range; and Musina, with its thick-set baobab trees. The crossing into Zimbabwe is at Beit Bridge.Phalaborwa and Thabazimbi are Limpopo’s major mining centres, while the town of Tzaneen in the pic-turesque Magoebaskloof is known for its tea planta-tions, forestry products and tropical fruits. Census 2011 statistics indicate that the province’s 5,5 million people live on about 123 910 km2 of land. The majority speak Sesotho sa Leboa, followed by Tshiv-enda and Xitsonga. This province is in the Savanna Biome, an area of mixed grassland and trees, which is generally known as bushveld. The province’s natural resources include more than 50 provincial nature reserves, as well as several private game reserves. The largest section of the Kruger National Park is situated along the eastern boundary of Limpopo with Mozambique.

AgricultureLimpopo produces a wide range of agricultural prod-ucts. The area is a potato belt it also produces 75% of the country’s mangoes; 65% of its papayas; 36% of its tea; 25% of its citrus, bananas and litchis; 60% of its av-ocados and two thirds of its tomatoes. Other products include coffee, nuts, guavas, sisal, cotton, tobacco, cot-ton, sunflower, maize, wheat and grapes. In addition, more than 170 plantations produce timber. Most of the higher-lying areas are devoted to cattle and game ranching, earning a reputation for quality biltong. Marula trees grow abundantly in the northern and north-eastern parts of Limpopo, where between January and March each year, marula beer is brewed.

Industry and MiningLimpopo also has abundant mineral resources, making mining the critical sector of the province’s economy by contributing 22% of the gross geographic product. Other reserves include antinomy, phosphates, fluor-spar, gold, diamonds, copper, emeralds, scheelites, magnetite, vermiculite, silicon, mica, black granite, co-rundum, feldspar and salt. The Medupi power station, a new dry-cooled, coal-fired power station, is under construction near Lephalale. It is expected to create around 40 000 job opportunities.

CONTACT INFORMATIONSekhukhune District Municipality (SDM) was estab-lished in December 2000 and consists of five Local Mu-nicipalities.Sekhukhune is an area with a long and proud history. It is also a place of majestic beauty with regal mountains, lush valleys and meandering rivers. Under the soil lie vast deposits of precious metals - so vast that they today contain the largest reserves of platinum group metals in the world. Above its soil sprout more than 2200 indigenous species of vascular plants, making Sekhukhune an area of exceptionally high-biodiversi-ty that is globally recognized. It is a land blessed with natural beauty, unusual resource endowments and a compelling history dating back to the 16th century.Sekhukhune is found in the Limpopo province, the northern-most part of South Africa. It covers an area of approximately 13 264 square-metres - most of which is rural and it lies to the North West of Mpumalanga and the South of Limpopo. Sekhukhune is located outside major towns such as Pretoria at approximately 200km to the South, Nel-spruit at about 150km to the East and Polokwane

about 180km to the North. It is estimated that only 5 % of Sekhukhune population lives in urban areas.The main urban centres are Groblersdal, Marble Hall, Burgersfort, Jan furse, Ohrigstad, Steelpoort and Drie-kop. Outside these major towns, one finds almost 605 villages which are generally sparsely populated and dispersed throughout the District. The area’s town and villages are serviced by its major rivers - the Olifants River, Tubatse River and the Elands River, all of which supply a number of large dams. The Sekhukhune economy is driven largely by agriculture, mining and tourism activities.

mental planning.• Fostering active community involvement.• Creating a learning organisation conducive for de-

velopment of human capital.• Enhancing sound intergovernmental relations

Waterberg is the first region in the northern part of South Africa to be named as a Biosphere Reserve by UNESCO. The ex-tensive rock formation was shaped by hundreds of mil-lions of years of riverine erosion to yield diverse bluff and butte landform.

The ecosystem can be characterised as a dry decidu-ous forest or Bushveld.Within the Waterberg there are archaeological finds dating to the Stone Age, and nearby are early evolu-tionary finds related to the origin of humans.Infrastructure is the cornerstone of social upliftment and economic development. In particular, fast track-ing Infrastructure delivery will also contribute to achieving the targeted economic growth rate of 6% through job creation as well as the establishment of well-serviced areas conducive for economic invest-ment and development.

PROVINCIAL ECONOMY

CONTACT INFORMATION

Spectacular scenic beauty and an abundance of wild-life, make Mpumalanga one of South Africa’s major tourist destinations. With a surface area of only 76 495 km2, it is the second-smallest province after Gauteng, yet has the fourth-largest economy in South Africa.Bordered by Mozambique and Swaziland in the east, and Gauteng in the west, it is situated mainly on the high plateau grasslands of the Middleveld, which roll eastwards for hundreds of kilometres. In the north-east, it rises towards mountain peaks and terminates in an immense escarpment. In some places, this escarp-ment plunges hundreds of metres down to the low-lying area known as the Lowveld.The province has a network of excellent roads and rail-way connections, making it highly accessible. Because of its popularity as a tourist destination, Mpumalanga is also served by a number of small airports, including the Kruger Mpumalanga International Airport.Mbombela (formerly Nelspruit) is the capital of the province and the administrative and business centre of the Lowveld. Other important towns are Witbank, Standerton, Piet Retief, Malelane, Ermelo, Barberton and Sabie.The Maputo Corridor, which links the province with Gauteng and Maputo in Mozambique, heralds a new era in terms of economic development and growth for the region.

AgricultureThe 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 com-mon during the hot, humid summers.Agriculture, is the backbone of the province’s econo-my. An abundance of citrus fruit and many other sub-

tropical fruit – mangoes, 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. 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 po-tatoes, sunflowers, maize and peanuts are also grown here.

Industry and ManufacturingMost of the manufacturing production in Mpumalan-ga occurs in the southern Highveld region, especially in the Highveld Ridge where large petrochemical in-dustries 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 subregion, industries are concentrated around the manufacturing of products from agricul-tural and raw forestry material. Mpumalanga is very rich in coal reserves. The coun-try’s major power stations, three of which are the big-gest in the southern hemisphere, are situated in this province, contributing massive megawatts of electric-ity to the national grid.

PROVINCIAL ECONOMY

CONTACT INFORMATION

The Northern Cape is South Africa’s largest province, taking up almost a third of the country’s total land area. However, the province is sparsely populated with only 1,1 million people on 361 830 km2 of land. Afrikaans is spoken by about 68% of the people, while Setswana, isiXhosa and English are also widely spoken. The last remaining true San (Bushman) people live in the Kalahari area, mainly along the Orange and Vaal rivers. Many fossils and San rock engravings have been found here.The Northern Cape lies to the south of its most impor-tant asset, the mighty Orange River, which provides the basis for a healthy agricultural industry. The Northern Cape borders the Atlantic Ocean in the west, and Namibia and Botswana to the north-west and north respectively. It is fringed by the Swartberg mountain range on its southern border.With two major airports at Kimberley and Upington, and an excellent road network, the province’s interior is easily accessible from South Africa’s major cities, har-bours and airports. Sutherland is host to the southern hemisphere’s larg-est astronomical observatory, the multinational-spon-sored Southern African Large Telescope. The province has several national parks and conserva-tion areas, namely the:• Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park.• Ai-Ais-Richtersveld Transfrontier Conservation Park• Augrabies Falls National Park.

The largest part of the province falls within the Nama-Karoo Biome. The area is known worldwide for its spectacular annual explosion of spring flowers, which attract thousands of tourists.

Agriculture and industry The economy of a large part of the Northern Cape, the

interior Karoo, depends on sheep farming.The province has fertile agricultural land. In the Or-ange River Valley, especially at Upington, Kakamas and Keimoes, grapes and fruit are cultivated intensively. Wheat, fruit, peanuts, maize and cotton are produced at the Vaalharts Irrigation Scheme near Warrenton.Wine is also produced in the Northern Cape’s Orange River wine region.

MiningMining contributes 27,6% to the gross regional do-mestic product. Iron-ore mining in the north-eastern corner of the province has been expanding despite the global re-cession, driven largely by a demand for steel from Chi-na. Sishen is the biggest iron-ore mine in the country and its owner, Kumba Iron Ore, is engaging in a new project at Kolomela (previously known as South Sish-en). New manganese projects are also underway. Diamond mining is increasingly moving away from the older mines to alluvial mining along the Orange River and its tributaries and in the Atlantic Ocean. The province also has copper, asbestos, fluorspar, semi-precious stones and marble.

Helen Zille, born 9 March 1951, is the Premier of the Western Cape, a member of the Western Cape Provincial Parliament, leader of South Africa’s opposition Democratic Alli-ance political party, and a former Mayor of Cape Town.Zille is a former journalist and anti-apartheid activist and was one of the journalists who exposed the truth behind the death of Black Consciousness leader Steve Biko while working for the Rand Daily Mail in the late 1970s. She also worked with the Black Sash and other pro-democracy groups during the 1980s. In the political arena, Zille has worked in all three tiers of government – as the Western Cape Province’s education MEC (1999–2004), as a Member of Parliament (2004–2006), as Mayor of Cape Town (2006–2009), and as Premier of the Western Cape (2009–present). Zille’s work as mayor, and in particular her successes in tackling crime, drug abuse and unemployment in Cape Town, led to her selection as World Mayor of the Year in 2008 - from a field of 820 candidates. Zille speaks English, Afrikaans, and Xhosa as well as Ger-man, the language of her parents.

CONTACT INFORMATION

Situated on the south-western tip of the African con-tinent, the Western Cape with its wide beaches and breathtaking scenery, complemented by a rich variety of cultures, historical landmarks, world-class restau-rants and entertainment, is a world-famous tourist destination. Table Mountain, the Cape winelands, Robben Island and the Kirstenbosch Botanical Gardens are among the province’s most popular tourist attractions. The Western Cape is also known for its floral diversity. The Knysna-Tsitsikamma region has the country’s big-gest indigenous forests. Census 2011 statistics indicate that the Western Cape has the lowest rate of unemployment. The province has a strong network of higher education institutions including the universities of Cape Town, Stellenbosch and the Western Cape, and has the high-est adult education level in the country. The cold Atlantic Ocean along the west coast is a rich fishing area, while the warmer Indian Ocean skirts the province’s southern beaches. Cape Town, often referred to as the “Mother city”, hous-es Parliament and is the country’s legislative capital. Visitors to the Western Cape can disembark at Cape Town International Airport, George Airport or at the ports of Cape Town, Mossel Bay or Saldanha.

Agriculture and FisheriesThe Western Cape’s sheltered valleys between moun-tains are ideal for the cultivation of export-grade fruit such as apples, table grapes, olives, peaches and or-anges. A variety of vegetables is cultivated in the eastern part of the Western Cape, while the Swartland and Over-berg districts are well-known as the country’s prime wheat-growing areas. The agricultural sector is critical for the Western Cape economy, accounting for 60%

of regional exports. South Africa’s 300-year-old wine industry is based in the south of the province and pro-duces 3,1% of the world’s wine.Some 75% of all South African fishing takes place along the Western Cape coastline which are protect-ed. Snoek, Cape lobster, abalone, calamari, octopus, oysters and mussels are among the delicacies pro-duced in these waters. Key exports are also fruit, wine, wool and ostrich.

IndustryThe Western Cape economy contributes roughly 14,5% to South Africa’s GDP, growing at an average of 3,2% a year. Sectors such as finance, real estate, in-formation and communication technology, retail and tourism have shown substantial growth, and are the main contributors to the regional economy. Cape Town remains the economic hub of the province.Many of South Africa’s major insurance companies and banks, as well as petroleum companies and the largest segment of the printing and publishing indus-try are based in the Western Cape. After Gauteng and KwaZulu-Natal, the Western Cape’s manufacturing sector is the third- largest contributor to the national manufacturing sector. The clothing and textile indus-try remains the most significant industrial source of employment in the province.
