The 2023/24 edition of Gauteng Business is the 14th issue of this highly successful publication that has established itself as the premier business and investment guide for the Gauteng Province. In addition to the regular articles providing insight into each of the key economic sectors of the province, a special feature on Special Economic Zones is included in this edition. SEZs are a major plank of industrial policy at national level and Gauteng is enthusiastically rolling out sector-specific zones in every district. The Vaal SEZ, which is preparing the way for ratification by national authorities, is the newest zone intended to boost development. All of the main economic sectors of the provincial economy are reviewed, ranging from agriculture, transport and logistics, energy and manufacturing through to education and training. Like the rest of the world, Gauteng is adapting to and innovating in the field of energy. The fact that mining companies and others are starting to build facilities to generate power is significant for the country as a whole. Gold Fields’ 40MW solar project at its South Deep mine and Sibanye-Stillwater making land available on the West Rand for solar farms are indicators for the future. To complement the extensive local, national and international distribution of the print edition, the full content can also be viewed online at www.globalafricanetwork.com under e-books. Updated information on Gauteng is also available through our monthly e-newsletter, which you can subscribe to online at www.southafricanbusiness.co.za, in addition to our complementary business-to-business titles that cover all nine provinces as well as our flagship South African Business title and the new addition to our list of titles, The Journal of African Business, which was launched in 2020.
