There will be a substantial increase in the DTI budget for SEZs from R450 m in the 2014-15 financial year to R1,68 billion in 2016-17. There are challenges that face the industrialisation efforts, mainly a rising from administered prices. These include both electricity prices and port charges, with the continued increase in electricity prices implemented by Eskom. In the past few years the manufacturing sector has been adversely affected. The value adding sector uses a significant amount of electricity. High port charges adversely affect both exported and imported goods and this directly affects costs of the manufacturing sector. Transport infrastructure, is another challenge. There is limited maintenance and upgrading of infrastructure which results in an increase in the costs of acquiring these services in future.
