Depending on existing feasibility studies done around each park, township interventions on sectors are at different stages, and largely dependent on existing and potential investors on the ground for uptake. Bulk work on interventions have been made through funding support given by the dtic (incentives under programmes such as the Black Industrialist Programme, etc.) and DFIs (IDC, NEF and SEDFA) to individual enterprises. a. Work is being done in Gauteng (Soweto, Joburg South, Kagiso, Randfontein, Babelegi / Hamanskraal, Garankuwa, Geluksdaal, KwaThema, Tsakane, Lesedi/Ratanda, Boipatong / Vaal); Limpopo (Seshego, Jane Furse, Nkowankowa); KwaZulu-Natal (Umlazi, Mandeni, KwaMashu, Ulundi); Eastern Cape (Mthatha, Komani/Ezibeleni, Zwelitsha, UGIE); Free State (Welkom / Thabong, Thaba-Nchu, Botshabelo, Phuthaditjaba); Northern Cape (Kathu / Gamagara, Upington / Dawid Kruipper, Kuruman); Western Cape (Motherwell, Perseverance, Atlantis); Mpumalanga (KwaMhlanga, KaBokweni, Middleburg/Mkuze). b. There are ongoing assessments for requests made by (1) Gauteng (for the Vaal SEZ and West Rand SEZ); (2) North West (for Bojanala SEZ); and (3) Limpopo (for Fetakgomo SEZ), based on cited townships. In the same vein, capacity is also being extended to underperforming designated SEZs, to integrate MSMEs in those locations with potential markets within the zones. -END- Source file RNW6890-260105.docx Correct this page What's wrong with this page?
