CHAPTER 88. LOCAL ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENTThis strategy is also supported by the Spatial Development Framework to give effect to the following SDF principle:• SDF Development Principle: To investigate and exploit the opportunities of the municipal resources such asagriculture, tourism, mining and power stations.The strategy should cover inter alia the following:• Mining and Industry Framework.• Agricultural Development and Management Strategy.• Tourism Development Strategy.Responsibility: Lekwa LM: Development and Planning Department;The LED should focus on aspects such as the branding and image of the Municipality (and the urban settlements),it’s economic (re)positioning in terms of the global economy, tourism and all aspects related to the urban spaceeconomy. The main focus of the LED should be on the following: Promote and support sustainability of existing businesses.• Promote small and micro sized rural enterprises.• Tourism growth and promotion: conferencing, casino, motels game farms, natural sites ect.• Creation of job opportunities.• Industries to support SMME activities.• Improve skills development.• Increase the revenue potential of the Municipality.• Develop the business potential of the area.• Establish the municipality as one of preference for national and international visitors.Examples of LED initiatives are:• Supporting micro enterprises;• Supporting small business development;• Providing skill training;• Encouraging domestic or foreign investment by providing infrastructure like roads or the reduction ofcrime;• Providing municipal services such as transport, education or regulations which support local economicdevelopment.There is no single solution to LED that will work in every local area. Each local area has a unique set ofopportunities and problems, and must develop an approach to LED that is specific to that area. For example, somelocal areas have physical fea harbour like Durban) that can be used to help economic development throughtourism or as afreight distribution hub. Other local areas may draw on different resources for LED, such as the presence of coaland gold, infrastructure like mines, or a well-educated and skilled workforce. In the case of Lekwa LM, it has thefollowing strengths to build on in order to achieve local economic development and these are the priority areasthat should be addressed:• Tourism: Natural features such as the Vaal River and Grootdraai Dam.• Local Businesses and industries: Standerton which has a strong business sector and is home to a numberof industries.• Mining and Power stations: New Denmark Colliery and Tutuka Power Station as well as its locality withincoal fields and proximity to industrial hubs such as the TEKS area.As part of the LED the following strategies should be drafted.Mining and Industry Framework: This framework would be vital to assist the municipality in future planning as itwill give an indication whether these industries could contribute towards development of the municipality.
