What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

Limpopo officials are promoting the province's role as a strategic economic gateway to the Southern African Development Community (SADC), utilizing its geography, mineral wealth, agricultural potential, and energy assets. Premier Phophi Ramathuba stated that the province has secured cumulative investment commitments exceeding R450 billion since the inaugural conference in 2021. She added that the 2025 conference alone garnered R170 billion in pledges from 47 commitments, which she claims have led to over 23,000 direct employment opportunities for Limpopo citizens.
