South Africa is strategically located at the southern point of Africa. South Africa is a promising economy to invest in with world-class infrastructure and accessibility. The positioning of the North West with respect to the rest of the country and the African market makes the region attractive to investors from both a national and continental perspective. Bordering Botswana, the province is ideally positioned to access the 14 countries comprising the SADC. The North West province of South Africa is ideally located as one of the gateways to the Southern African Development Community (SADC). The province benefits from the Highway that connects the Walvis Bay Port in Namibia with the Maputo Port in Mozambique, running through the province. The North West offers easily-available skills and distribution channels imperative for agricultural commercial ventures and plays a significant role in the supply of energy, transport and communications to the African continent.

05 Key Economic Sectors of North West

• Agriculture • Agro processing and general manufacturing • Mining and mineral beneficiation • Tourism • Green economy • ICT Agriculture

The North West is considered to be an important contributor to the Southern African food basket with an estimated 43.9% of the province categorised as “arable“ land. More than 20% of South Africa's maize crop is produced in the province. Other agricultural products produced are livestock (cattle, poultry and game), sunflower seed and oil, nuts, citrus and tobacco. The North West province is also known for its' significant presence of game farms and lodges which attracts tourists and hunters. There are three distinct climate regions which allow a wide variety of agricultural activity. • Drier Western Region • Home to considerable cattle and game farming • Hunting • Central and southern parts • Dominated by maize and wheat farming • Production of cash crops • Eastern and north-eastern region • Receives a fair quantity of rainfall • Accommodates the cultivation of a variety of crops

Agro-processing & General Manufacturing

The establishment of Agro Industrial parks is one of the initiatives that the province is pursuing. These Agri-parks will include industrial and commercial facilities dedicated to production and business services, aimed at attracting new businesses and integrated infrastructure in one location. The parks will provide localised environmental controls that are specific to the needs of the industrial area. A world-class economy of scale abattoir, meat processing and packaging plant and cold storage facilities seek investment for the beneficiation of cattle. The beneficiation value chain will support the beneficiation of cattle hides through an economy of scale tannery, leather furniture manufacturing plant, leather apparel manufacturing and shared warehousing. The province also hosts manufacturing facilities that include automotive parts, non-metallic minerals, fabricated metals, food processing, soya protein processing, cereals and numerous other products.

06 A 2015 study conducted by the North West University identified the following specific localised manufacturing opportunities:

Strategically reuse Major urban areas landfill areas to maximise Waste recycling Urban areas

Mining and Mineral Beneficiation

North West mining GDP contributes approximately (R76,6bn) 32,9% to the total industries GDP in the province and 25,2% to national mining GDP and 18,7% to North West formal employment (133800 jobs) and 29,2% to national mining employment. Platinum group metals is the major product of the mining sector in the North West as the province contributes 40% of world's platinum and 55% of the platinum in the South Africa in 2017. The province also produces 70% of the dimension stone and granite, 32% of chrome and 20.7% of gold of South Africa. Other minerals produced in the province include diamonds, vanadium, rhodium, uranium, copper, slate, limestone, nickel, silica, manganese, phosphate, fluorspar and zinc. (Sources: 1. DMR Statistics Combined Mineral Economists: PGM and Gold; and Industrial Minerals; 2. GFMS Gold Survey) 2017) There are approximately 297 mines in the North West province according to the Department of Mineral resources statistics. Tourism

The total Tourism spend as a percentage of GDP, contributes about 5% to the North West Economy. Traditional tourism jobs in the North West are estimated at more than 30,000. Cultural, natural and historical heritage products include the Taung Heritage Site, the Vredefort Dome Heritage Site and Mahikeng Capital City. Natural and wildlife attractions include 14 Nature Reserves of which Game Reserve and Pilanesberg Big Five game reserve are some of the offerings. Other key attractions include the Entertainment Complex and Hartebeespoort Dam with a host of adventure tourism opportunities.

07 Energy and Green Economy

The North West holds great potential for renewable energy opportunities. Opportunities include cogeneration, municipal waste conversion, biomass (converting alien plants to energy) and solar technologies including off-grid energy for rural areas. Technologies that contribute to energy efficiency are also in demand as 63% of the energy of the province is consumed by mining activities. The NWDC offers Trade & Investment Facilitation Services

15 addresses the SABS building standard SANS 10400-XA, which addresses environmental compliance and energy usage in buildings. When dealing with insulating materials, two interrelated values are often quoted: The R-value represents the resistance to the flow of heat through an insulating or building material. A higher R-value indicates greater resistance and thermal insulating properties. The R-value is measured in metres squared Kelvin per Watt (m²K/W). The U-value (inverse of R-value) is the measure of the flow of heat through an insulating or building material. CLUSTER FOR IFRASTRUCTURE OPPORTUNITIES

The North West's Flagship Project: The Platinum Valley SEZ

The Platinum Valley Special Economic Zone (SEZ) project is being executed by a specialised project management unit within the North West Development Corporation (NWDC). An SEZ is a Special Economic Zone which is defined as an identifiable portion of land that has been designated as an SEZ in terms of the Section 23 (6) of the Act, 214 (Act 16 of 2014). In South Africa, the establishment of SEZs are led by the dti - the Department of Trade and Industry. Their purpose is to stimulate and grow industrial development in various regions. This will also ensure that industrial infrastructure such as factories, industrial parks and bulk infrastructure roads are developed regionally. Such industrial growth will, in turn, stimulate economic growth as sectors cluster together in a special economic zone. As a result, SEZs have the potential to address the challenges of poverty, inequality and unemployment across South Africa, especially in rural and inland provinces such as the North West. The Platinum Valley SEZ is located in the industrial area of Mogwase near the Sun City entertainment complex, a 50 kilometers from the city of Rustenburg in the North West Province's Bojanala district. Which lies in the heart of South Africa's Platinum Group Metals (PGM) ore reserves, resources and deposits. There are over 24 mining shafts within a radius of 60 kilometers surrounding the proposed SEZ that are mining the Platinum Group Metals. The SEZ lies within 15 kilometers of the Further Education and Training (FET) Campus, offering technical qualifications that produce boilermakers, artisans, mechanics and more. Once formally designated, the Platinum Valley SEZ shall offer special incentives to investment and business. Infrastructure Advantages: • Concentrated and dedicated infrastructure required by industry • High voltage (three phase) electric power • Large volumes of clean or desalinated water • Optic fibre and other high-end communication systems and • Road, rail & air infrastructure (Pilanesberg Airport) Platinum Valley SEZ will be a 1117-hectare site which shall be developed in three phases Phase 1A - an 80 hectare brownfield development, focusing on refurbishment of existing factories Phase 1B - building of top structures on the developed 80 hectares of land; Phase 2 - development of 486 hectares of land Phase 3 – development of 471 hectares of land

19 SECTORAL FOCUS AREA
