Gauteng has managed to meet its target of R200 billion in new investment pledges at its second Gauteng Investment Conference 2026 held in Johannesburg. This brings the total investment pledges to over R500 billion, a step closer to the provinces investment target of R800 billion over a three year period.
MEC for Economic Development Agriculture and Rural Development, Vuyiswa Ramokgopa, says last years pledges were secured across 60 projects which enabled the creation of 90 000 jobs in the province.
Ramokgopa announced that Gauteng has now mobilised over R500 billion in private sector investment commitments. She says what is critical now is the conversion of these investments into bankable projects.
