The North West province says it is hoping for a tourism revival following the signing of an agreement to transform the fire-damaged Pilanesberg International Airport into a modern gateway for international and domestic travellers.
Last month, Minister of Public Works and Infrastructure, Dean Macpherson , North West Premier, Lazarus Mokgosi , and Ramotshere Moiloa Local Municipality Mayor, Dinah Pitso , signed two Memorandums of Understanding at Pilanesberg International Airport, committing to accelerate the redevelopment of the airport and infrastructure delivery across the province.
In 2023, this airport suffered a devastating fire. The damage was immediate and visible, but so too was the impact on connectivity, tourism flows, and investor confidence. For many, it became a symbol of infrastructure vulnerability, said Macpherson. Today, we stand here to begin turning it into a symbol of infrastructure renewal.
