"Since retailers began entering the neighbourhood space in the late 1990s, and
more so in the recent years, township residents have benefitted enormously,"
said the Mdantsane City's GM, Dean Dreary, whose centre has become a
mainstay in one of South Africa's largest townships, Mdantsane outside East
London.
Aside from assisting with job creation, the township-based shopping centre has
alleviated residents' need to commute long distances to and from the city
centre.

The lack of reliable electricity supply is not only leading to lost production and
increased costs across South Africa’s shrinking manufacturing sector, but has
left enterprises unable to plan, invest and grow.
The region was at a ‘tipping point’ and at risk of becoming a ‘rust belt’, with
significant plant closures, rising unemployment and crime, as well as low rates
of local and foreign investment.
However, the Gauteng (PWV) core industrial region has cemented its status
towards being the capital of SA's motor vehicle manufacturing industry by
launching its first automotive special economic zone (SEZ).
The automotive vehicle manufacturer Ford Motor Company will see at least
R3.6bn in projected investment being pumped into the project. The first phase
of the project was set to create almost 7,000 direct jobs.
When the project is completed in 2021, hundreds more indirect jobs are
expected to be created as the SEZ will be buzzing with automotive component
suppliers and related service providers.

region declining? (1 x 1) (1)

Development Zone have for the region? (2 x 2) (4)

TradePort Industrial Development Zone, will support rapid economic
growth in this IDZ. (3 x 2) (6)

SECTION B
Philippolis is a small town situated in the Motheo and Xhariep region of the Free
State Province in South Africa. In 1823 it served as a missionary outpost for the
Bushman. This makes Philippolis the oldest settlement in the Free State Province.
In the 1960s, Africa’s version of Asia’s Grand Trunk Highway – the Great North Road
– threatened to swallow up the tiny little Southern Free State village on its march from
Cape Town to Cairo. Instead, the N1 bypassed Philippolis and there was great
sadness in the town. No tourist boom. No franchise strip mall. No motels and no
immediate job bonanza for locals. The impressive (for those days) 3 petrol stations
that the town boasted dwindled to 1, and many buildings and farms were abandoned
as residents left for more lucrative locations.
Seventy-five of Philippolis buildings have been declared national monuments.
However, the town still serves as a central place town for the community.
