PRINCIPLE 3: Government spending on fixed investment should be focused on localities of economic
growth and/or economic potential
PRINCIPLE 4: Efforts to address past and current social inequalities should focus on people not
places
PRINCIPLE 5: Future settlement and economic development opportunities should be channeled into
activity corridors and nodes that are adjacent to or link the main growth centres
Map B3 below shows the geographic location of Ba-Phalaborwa Municipality in both the Province
and Mopani District. Without losing sight of National Spatial Development Perspective guidelines,
development at municipal level has to be informed by the Limpopo Province’s Provincial Growth
and Development Strategy (PGDS). Principles of the PGDS:
PRINCIPLE 1: An integrated and developmental approach that brings together strategies and
programmes of different spheres of government together towards achieving
sustainable economic growth, poverty reduction, and unemployment;
PRINCIPLE 2: Contributing to national and international commitments e.g. Reconstruction and
Development Programme’s objectives, the outcomes of the World Summit on
Sustainable Development, United Millennium Development Goals, etc;
PRINCIPLE 3: Building of relationships, sharing of information and a shared vision between spheres
of government, between municipalities and between departments;
PRINCIPLE 4: Participatory development and good governance to ensure transparency and
accountability in shaping the future of the Province.
