Western Cape MEC of Finance, Economic Development and Tourism Alan Winde said the Design Indaba is an important event for the economy as it generates about R1.3 billion for the province. 

The Design Indaba kicks off in Cape Town on Friday and MEC Winde said between 2003 and 2013 the province attracted 19 foreign direct investment projects which created 598 jobs.

Ministerial Spokesperson Bronwynne Jooste said MEC Winde will attend the Design Indaba to launch a new Western Cape Government-sponsored competition calling on creative industry players to design a piece of street art for Lower Dorp Street. This forms part of the government’s 20 years of democracy celebrations and the WDC 2014 programme.

She added that Winde said the Design Indaba was an important economic catalyst.
