The Northern Cape province has announced that over R105 billion in pledges have been made by investors in new and expanded mining, energy and agriculture projects in the Northern Cape, with an expected 19,800 new jobs to be created as a result.
The investment accords were signed at the inaugural Northern Cape Investment and Jobs Conference in Kimberley this week.
Northern Cape Premier Dr Zamani Saul said the new investor commitments took the province a long way toward achieving its target of growing the Northern Capes GDP from R164 billion to R200 billion and creating at least 60,000 new and sustainable jobs by 2030.
