The revitalisation of state-owned industrial parks will promote industrialisation and increase their contribution to job creation and South Africa’s economic growth, says Trade and Industry Minister Rob Davies.

The Department of Trade and Industry (the dti) has recognised the need to revitalise industrial parks located in various parts of the country, mainly the former homelands, as part of efforts to promote industrialisation, manufacturing and job creation.

“This was motivated by the recognition that these industrial parks have the capacity to serve as catalysts for broader economic and industrial development in their host regions, mainly townships and rural areas.

The dti has already conducted a scoping exercise for the industrial parks. This resulted in 10 of the state-owned parks being prioritised for revitalisation and refurbishment. The industrial parks are located in Limpopo, North West, KwaZulu-Natal, Free State, Eastern Cape and Mpumalanga.

Minister Davies said the revitalisation of the Industrial Parks Programme is part of the Industrial Policy Action Plan (IPAP) that is aimed at promoting industrialisation and

boosting the country’s manufacturing capacity to increase the production of exportable goods. The programme is also in line with the department’s economic transformation initiatives aimed at ensuring that all regions of the country and enterprises participate meaningfully in the mainstream economy.

“The programme will go a long way in accelerating economic development in the lagging regions of the country. It will also support job creation mainly in the manufacturing sector, assist in the development of infrastructure and facilitate market access for companies operating from the parks. In this way, the regions will be able to build, strengthen and develop their strategic industrial capabilities,” said Minister Davies.

He said the revitalisation programme will be implemented in phases focusing on various areas. These include the upgrading and provision of the security, electricity, road, bulk water supply and sewage treatment infrastructure.

The dti has entered into a Memorandum of Agreement with the Development Bank of Southern Africa (DBSA) for the bank to manage and implement the construction phase of the revitalisation programme.

Career Choice12

But for many others, the future isn’t as clear-cut.Maybe you want to go to med school, but don’t necessarily want to be a doctor. Maybe you love maps, but aren’t sure how to incorporate that passion into a career. Or perhaps you just haven’t found anything that sounds appealing yet. Photo cred: Apple


For many students, a college degree puts you on the direct path to a certain career, such as a doctor, teacher, or journalist.

Industrial design

“As a career, industrial design is a great fusion of art and engineering. The problems are challenging, the work is varied and creative, and design consultancies have some of the best work environments and cultures you could ask for. And at the core of it all, you’re tasked with answering the question, ‘What sort of future do we want to live in?’ Design is so much more than making things shiny.” – WangaCPT

Dental hygienist

“I’m starting dental hygiene school and I would have never looked into it while in college. It’s only after I graduated and realized that I had absolutely no idea what I wanted to do that I started seriously doing some research. Most dental hygiene programs only require a certain amount of prerequisite courses and a standardized test score for admission. Most are also bachelors degree programs as well, so mom and dad are pleased and you’re spending the minimal amount of time you would earning a traditional university/college degree. Plus, salary starts at 50-60k

a year with ridiculous benefits, at least in my area.” - TselaneBFN

Court stenographer

It’s a three-year program (on average — took me four to finish), but if you’re proficient in grammar, have strong language skills, have solid finger dexterity from playing an instrument or video games, and are able to work independently, it’s an incredible career.“You work from home most of the time, lawyers very rarely schedule depositions before 10:00 am, you can make your own schedule, and the pay is great. Your pay reflects how hard you want to work and the jobs you’re getting, but I made 65k my first year and nearly 80k my second.” — BrandonKzn

Air traffic controller

“After school and training it pays an average of 100k a year, but there is an age limit to get accepted. My father is an ATC at Pearson. 300k a year with brilliant benefits. He provided a great quality of life for my family.” — Kate47

The Western Cape Government, together with Neotel, has launched the first 50 of 384 planned public access Wi-Fi hotspots.

The 384 hotspots have been strategically located to ensure maximum coverage for all citizens. We are aiming to achieve complete coverage by 2019, by which time all 384 hotspots should be activated.

While there are a few small-scale municipal Wi-Fi projects on the go, no other Provincial administration is undertaking a connectivity project of this scale. We are also the only province focused on bringing connectivity to rural areas, with a hotspot in every single ward no matter where you are.

The Western Cape is leading the way

There will be 300MB per month of free browsing available to users on their first connection (and thereafter 250MB per month). A specialised content portal has been devised which allows unlimited browsing of government websites, as well as a digital literacy course.

Users of the Neotel Wi-Fi hotspots will also be able to top up at the lowest internet rates in South Africa, at just R5 a day for up to 700 MB. [Comparison: A competitor operator offers a daily recharge rate of R50 for 500MB.]This offering is more than 10 times cheaper than the entry level offering from a similar Wi-Fi provider, and over 40 times cheaper than the entry level offering from a mobile operator.

To bolster usage of our Wi-Fi hotspots, the Western Cape Government has introduced

an Internet Champion Programme in partnership with Computers4Kids. Through this programme, we are training “Internet Champions”, sourced from communities, to deliver a digital literacy programme to the citizens at our hotspots. This is to ensure that the maximum number of residents sign up, and that they make the most of the service.

Economic benefits

Our number one priority is to grow the economy and create jobs, and Wi-Fi connectivity is an enabler in achieving just that.

E-Commerce is growing at a rate of around 30% a year, with the growth showing no signs of slowing down. The result is that an Internet economy worth R59-billion in 2011 and making up 2% of the South African economy, will grow to as much as 2.5% of the economy by 2016.

The World Bank has shown that a 10% increase in broadband penetration results in a 1.38% increase in GDP.

Ericsson, a global telecommunications company, has reported that every 1,000 new broadband connections has an impact of creating 80 new jobs and also improves the volume of new businesses registered by around 5%.

Access to the Internet makes e-services more accessible to communities that would otherwise not be able to utilize this new way of service delivery. This helps with the number of customers obtaining and paying for bills on

time and being able to access information without increasing call volumes to a department call centre. These improvements in turn help to improve efficiency of service delivery and enhance the quality of life.

As an example, research commissioned by the Department of Economic Development and Tourism found that 60.3% of Western Cape residents are using their phones to search for health-related queries.

We’ve been seeing shorter queue’s at our clinics, which suggests more residents are indeed turning to the internet for basic medical questions. This is saving them travel money and lost time at work. It’s also reducing demand on stretched government medical services.

How the Service Works

The Wi-Fi hotspots will be mounted on the external walls of the buildings, and will point out towards the nearby community. Depending on topography, the hotspots have a range of up to 200m depending on the environment.

All devices that have Wi-Fi functionality can use this service.

NeoHotspots Internet Access is only R5/day (Limited to 700 MB) or R45/month (Limited to 5 GB). NeoHotspots vouchers are already available at participating Spar retail outlets and Engen service stations, with more voucher resellers expected to come online soon.
