Yes, I see this one Ekandustria, it must be the one that's been attended to. Usually when we say we are revitalising this, what we mean is, we put security infrastructure, which is fencing, lightning, critical top structures and electrical requirements, that's the first phase that we do. That tends to bring in some you know, few jobs as people do this. Phase two obviously is
about compliance with regulatory requirements and then in some instances we have to develop vacant land and introduce industrial clusters. Then, for example Vulindlela and Babelege were completed and launched towards the end of last year. Phutaditshaba and Ekandustria, Garankuwa, Mogwase and Nkowankowa were also completed during the course of this year. Dimbaza is still under phase one, so Dimbaza was still starting, but Botshabelo in the Free State is complete.
So, what I am learning and I am sure we are learning together, is that it's very easy for the National Treasury to allocate the funding but we are not the implementing agencies, so that is why I call upon you to make sure that the implementing agencies do their work, but also that you are active with the people. Let me give an example, the mayor and the Member of Executive Council, MEC, of the Department Economic Affairs in any province, in any locality where these industrial parks are, needs to be in constant conversation with the Local Chamber of Commerce and Industries, so they know each one of the business people, they know which business person wants to go and open a factory where and they can then show them the incentive structure at the industrial park, then they can take them there. This has to be an activist combination of people, we can't just say we have revitalised industrial parks and go and sit at home
and expert things to work, no, and we have to keep on working at the system until we get these parks happening.
We make lots of mistakes some times, which we must learn from. One of my colleagues says we must not be afraid to make mistakes; I agree but let's try and make as few mistakes as possible, so that it's not a litany of mistakes. So, in one instance for example we decide to designate a special economic zone, which would attract the type of industries which will require a lot of water, nobody actually did an environment assessment study, which would have shown that location of that special economic zone is wrong because there is no water there. So, the integrated planning system is very key also for these industrial parks. This initiative of the industrial parks, I think is very important we should support it, work together with provincial leadership and the mayors nearer the parks, so that we can get the show on the road. Thank you.
