“This is an opportunity that will create jobs, an opportunity for economic growth, an opportunity for not only Saldanha Bay or the Western Cape but for South Africa and sub- Saharan South Africa" Winde added.

We really welcome this, we look forward to it and this is something that all spheres of the government has been working on for sometime now from Dti the national level to the provincial government and our agency Wesgro and the local authority and the municipality of Saldanha Bay,” Winde added.
