Gauteng Re-industrialization Strategy to Boost Manufacturing and Economic Growth
Gauteng is transitioning from a consumption-oriented economy to a manufacturing hub, representing 40% of South Africa's industrial output. The province's multi-tier Special Economic Zone (SEZ) strategy focuses on high-value products for global markets.
The OR Tambo SEZ is pivotal for advanced manufacturing, while the Vaal SEZ is attracting R2-billion in investment for hydrogen and renewable energy. Additionally, the Automotive Supplier Park in Rosslyn supports the automotive sector's leadership.
The Gauteng Enterprise Propeller is facilitating black-owned SMMEs with loans of up to R5-million to enhance production capacity. This initiative aligns with the upcoming Gauteng Investment Conference in 2026, aiming to stimulate sustainable growth and job creation.
