A REGIONAL OVERVIEW OF LIMPOPO Limpopo is a huge province that ranges across the north of South Africa and shares borders with Mozambique, Botswana and Zimbabwe. The Great North Road passes through the middle of the province, so places like Polokwane (the provincial capital) and Musina (on the northern border) are natural bases for logistics companies. The strategic value of these locations is being exploited through the creation of Special Economic Zones (SEZs). The province has wonderful natural resources, from coal, platinum and chrome to avocados, tomatoes and macadamia nuts. Wonderful vistas in very varied landscapes, golf estates and adventure tourism underpin the tourism industry. Limpopo’s national parks are among the country’s places to visit for international visitors and are among the most popular family holiday destinations for domestic tourists. Key sectors Subtropical fruit like mangoes, paw-paws, litchis, bananas and pineapples are in abundance in the province and make up the bulk of export income. Cattle, sunflowers, cotton, maize, peanuts, avocados, tea, tomatoes, citrus and macadamias are among Limpopo’s key agricultural resources. Mining is a key sector of the provincial economy. Limpopo has a very rich and varied mineral asset base. Platinum occurs on both limbs of the Bushveld Igneous Complex (BIC), and the Waterberg district is seen as the answer to South Africa's coal needs for the next several decades. The provincial government reports that the mining sector constituted 26% of Limpopo gross domestic product (GDP) in 2013. In 2015, a Mining Roundtable was held under the title "Limpopo's Minerals for a Broad-Based Industrialisation Agenda" and attended by 250 delegates from the mining sector, universities, NGOs and government. A key focus area is to try to ensure that 20% of procurement in the mining sector goes to small businesses and co-operatives. De Beers has approved a mining infrastructure expansion project at its diamond mine in Musina worth R163-billion. In August 2016, Unit 6 of the Medupi power station came on stream. The Medupi power station project is one of the biggest engineering projects undertaken in South Africa. Medupi is located in Lephalale in the far west of Limpopo, and next to an existing power station where coal is abundant. Unit 5 is expected to come on stream in the first half of 2017. The De Hoop Dam across the Steelpoort River in the east of Limpopo has started supplying water SOUTH AFRICAN BUSINESS 2017 130
