Stimulating The Economy Through Special Economic Zones

Stimulating The Economy: SEZs as Engines for Jobs

South Africa needs jobs, especially for youth and women.

What We Are Building On:

• The ANC-led government has designated Special Economic Zones across the country as platforms to attract investment, grow manufacturing, and link local SMMEs to new value chains.

How SEZs Deliver:

• Building partnerships between government, private sector and communities
• Supporting local suppliers and township enterprises to enter supply chains
• Creating sustainable jobs in manufacturing, logistics and green industries
• Opening South Africa to new markets while keeping value in our municipalities

SEZs are not just industrial parks - they are community growth engines. When they work, municipalities collect more revenue, young people get skills, and local businesses grow.

Vote ANC on 4 November 2026 for an economy that works for all.
