South Africa is set to witness a significant development with the construction of its first new harbour in 30 years. Port Shepstone, a town in KwaZulu-Natal, will be the site of this ambitious project, aiming to bring economic revival to neglected coastal areas. The new harbour is expected to have a massive impact, with estimates suggesting it could bring over R4 billion into the local economy and create thousands of jobs.
The initiative is a response to a recent study by the Centre for Risk Analysis, which revealed that smaller harbours in South Africa handle a substantial amount of cargo. With an extensive coastline, the potential for new harbours in smaller communities is immense. The Spatial Economic Development Framework (SEDF) unveiled by the Deputy Minister's department identifies several future sites, including Port Edward, Hibberdene, Port St. Johns, and Port Nolloth.
This video explores the potential benefits and impact of these new harbour SEDF sites on smaller coastal communities. Will they be a success story for South Africa's economic development? Join us as we delve into the details and discuss the future of these coastal towns.
