The establishment of two Special Economic Zones (SEZs) in Limpopo is expected to kickstart the economy of the province, Department of Trade and Industry (dti) acting chief director of SEZs at the dti, Maoto Molefane, said at a seminar in Polokwane last week.
One will be in Musina and the other will be in Tubatse.
“The SEZ in Musina will be a logistics hub for which we have already received an investment pipeline of more than R36 billion to establish a number of projects,” he said.
These include a steel plant, cooking coal plant and a power station. The SEZ in Tubatse will focus on platinum group metals beneficiation and also the manufacturing of goods that are utilised in the mining industry there,” said Molefane.
He added that the department was working with all stakeholders, including local communities, private sector, provincial and local government and other national departments to ensure the successful implementation of the SEZ programme in Limpopo.
