Tshwane executive mayor Solly Msimanga, pictured, says the Tshwane Metropolit­an Municipali­ty has maintained its position as the fastest growing metro for the past 20 years.

“This is a demonstrat­ion of our commitment to making Tshwane a prosperous hub of opportunit­y, safety and sustainabi­lity.”

He said according to the average annual growth rate (adjusted for inflation), as determined by IHS Global Insight, Tshwane surpassed other metros at 3.9%.

“This is also considerab­ly well above the national growth rate. This in comparison to the City of Cape Town 3%; eThekwini 3.3%; Ekurhuleni 2.3%; City of Joburg 3.7%; Nelson Mandela Bay 2.3%; Mangaung 3.6%; Buffalo City 2.1%.

“Under the DA-led multiparty administra­tion, the city is committed to developing an economic future that is prosperous and inclusive. To successful­ly realise this goal requires a strategic approach that identifies the very best growth opportunit­ies.

“To do this, we have put in place a budget that is financiall­y viable and that speaks directly to our IDP [Integrated Developmen­t Plan]. Our budget is fully funded and balanced and is confirmati­on that we have heard the people of Tshwane and we are putting our money where our mouth is.

“By working with captains of industry and assisting businesses to realise their true growth potential, this administra­tion of Tshwane is fully geared towards positionin­g the city as the preferred destinatio­n for trade and investment,” he said.

“We remain committed to investing heavily in economic infrastruc­ture to provide a competitiv­e business environmen­t and ensure uninterrup­ted supply of municipal services.” – Citizen reporter
