The construction for the
Industrial Development Zone in Saldanha Bay is set to start in August and be
completed next year September, with the preparatory site work to be done by the
end of this month.
Western Cape MEC of Economic
Opportunities Alan Winde said government seeks to grow the sector by
transforming Saldanha Bay into a world class rig hub and by equipping local
residents with skills they need to take advantage of the opportunities that
will come through this project.
Ministerial Spokesperson
Bronwynne Jooste said MEC Winde emphasised that the IDZ will play a very
important role in driving project Khulisa’s goals to grow the oiling and gas
sector and the high growth scenario.
Jooste added that the sector
could employ a further 60 000 people and generate another R3 Billion for
our economy.
