3.14 LOCAL ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT
INTRODUCTION TO ECONOMIC DEVLOPMENT
Mahikeng Local Municipality is faced by development problem in that a mix of urban and rural economies characterizes the municipal area of jurisdiction, thus ranging from a relatively strong economic performance to relatively isolated rural settlements with high levels of poverty. As a municipality, it has a specific coordination and facilitation responsibilities, which need to be addressed in an innovative manner to initiate and promote integrated and sustainable LED as well as to attract investments.
The municipality’s LED Strategy its purpose is to collate all economic information and investigate the coordinated and integrated options and opportunities available to broaden the economic base of the study area, packaged as a strategic implementation framework in order to address the creation of employment opportunities, investment and business development and the resultant positive spin-off effects throughout the district economy.
Some of the critical relevant economic activities within the main economic sectors are Agriculture, Mining, Manufacturing, Trade and Tourism. The Standard Industrial Classification does not define Tourism as an economic sector, but because it is such an important industry in terms of potential job creation. Local Economic Development aims to address and reduce Poverty alleviation through introducing sustainable projects and job creation in wards.
There is a growing need for LED projects especially within our rural communities. Almost 50% of the wards have prioritized the provision of LED projects, especially in the area of small scale commercial farming with the potential for income-generation and the reduction of unemployment.
“The NDP contains proposals for tackling the problems of poverty, inequality and unemployment. It is a roadmap to a South Africa where all will have water, electricity, sanitation, jobs, housing, public transport, adequate nutrition, education, social protection, quality healthcare, recreation and a clean environment.”
