Western Cape Business 2018 edition
The 2018 edition of Western Cape Business is the 11th issue of this highly successful publication that, since its launch in 2005, has established itself as the premier business and investment guide for the Western Cape. In addition to the regular articles providing insight into each of the key economic sectors of the province, there are special features on the growth of tourism (spurred by an innovative programme designed to create more direct flights to Cape Town), medical technology as a growth sector and the pursuit of excellence that drives the Cape Winemakers Guild. The journal contains a message from Alan Winde, Minister of Economic Opportunities, and contributions from significant business leaders from Accelerate Cape Town, the Cape Chamber of Commerce and the Western Cape Business Opportunities Forum. An interview with Tim Harris, Wesgro’s CEO, reveals some of the recipe for the province’s economic success. Updated information on the Western Cape is also available through our monthly e-newsletter, which you can subscribe to online at www.globalafricanetwork.com, in addition to our complementary business-to-business titles that cover all nine provinces as well as our flagship South African Business title.

Cederberg Municipality<br />
Blessed by nature, rich in<br />
heritage and warm-hearted<br />
people, this a great place<br />
for tourism all year round.<br />
Cederberg boasts a beautiful<br />
and varying landscape that includes mountains,<br />
valleys and coastline with a multitude of attractions<br />
and activities.<br />
The area is rich in flowers and fynbos, including<br />
Rooibos, which makes this the heart of the international<br />
Rooibos tea industry. The Clanwilliam<br />
dam wall is being raised, which will soon provide<br />
more water. Unutilised fertile lands can then be<br />
irrigated to produce high yields to boost agricultural<br />
output.<br />
The Cederberg Rocklands is among the top five<br />
bouldering destinations in the world.<br />

(especially abalone), fishing, mining, manufacturing,<br />
agriculture and property development.<br />

Bergrivier Municipality<br />
Situated north of Saldanha Bay, the Bergrivier region is particularly suited to<br />
agriculture. Livestock, fruit, vegetables and flowers are farmed in the area and there are<br />
opportunities in kelp farming and processing.<br />
The large cement factory and smaller salt-reclamation works are indicators of<br />
business development opportunities related to mining.<br />
