Leaders in Advancing Industry to a Greener Future
The Limpopo Development Plan is an industrial cluster based growth strategy. The Tubatse SEZ in an industrial cluster initiative that falls within the planned Limpopo Platinum and Chrome cluster which has two components of industrial formations. At the upstream it involves the formation of the mining input supplies manufacturing industries and the downstream components involves the formation of mineral beneficiation industries. The latter has high potential for contribution in the production of clean energy and thus contribution to sustainable development and good health.
The Tubatse Special Economic Zone will impact positively on more than a million people in the province due to improved economic activities within the Dilokong Spatial Economic Initiative as well as improving economic progress within other districts and municipalities. These economic activities will not yield improvements of the wellbeing of the provincial citizens but will also contribute to the enhancement of requisite skills and of South Africa’s role in regional integration.

“Leaders in Advancing Industry to a Greener Future”
The cluster based Limpopo Development Plan which is aligned with the National Development Plan aims to build competitive industrial clusters that are hinged on the basic endowments of the province. The Tubatse Special Economic Zone therefore constitutes an important milestone in the planned Platinum and Chrome Cluster and Spatial Development Initiative that has yielded positive growth over the years in creating a demand base fore mining input supplies as a result of the growth in the mining sector in the area.
Apart from its resources the area has been targeted to address the fact that despite its resources, development in this area has been lagging behind for many decades. Government has therefore targeted the development of the infrastructure in this region starting with developments such as the De Hoop Dam and road improvements to unlock the potential of this region
