Trust the author has no objection to me copying his post here..........
The People's Republic of China is set to invest over R100bn into Limpopo, in particular targeting large infrastructure projects, such as steel production, and power generation, as well as a further R3bn into cement production in Musina, Makhado, and Thabazimbi.
Premier Stan Mathabatha was in China recently to seal the deal, that will make Limpopo a special economic growth area in the next few years.
Additionally a memorandum of understanding has been signed initially between the Limpopo Economic Development Agency and potential investors from the Shanxi province.
The projects are expected to create over 20,000 jobs.
Comment-The Chinese are excellent long term investors, Limpopo looks like it will see some significant inward investment over the next few years due to its unique and plentiful mineral resource-hopefully Ironveld can be a part of this dynamic change.
