The initiative aims to empower residents through improved business infrastructure and increased economic participation.

The park will feature 15 light industrial workshops, providing space for small businesses and local entrepreneurs to thrive in sectors like manufacturing, repairs, and services.

Essential municipal services, including water, electricity, sewer, and stormwater infrastructure, will support a conducive business environment.

During the event on March 17, the mayor, Clr Vusi Nhlapho, said, “This development represents a meaningful investment in our community, aimed at creating opportunities, supporting local enterprises, and ensuring access to critical infrastructure. All companies and individuals interested in participating will be selected through the municipality’s portal, ensuring transparency and fairness in the process.”

It is also anticipated that the development will create employment opportunities during both the construction and operational phases, delivering both immediate and long-term benefits to the residents.
