The Vaal Special Economic Zone (SEZ), a venture led by the Gauteng Growth and Development Agency (GGDA) under the auspices of the Gauteng Provincial Government’s Department of Economic Development, stands as a dynamic initiative aimed at reigniting the birthplace of industrialisation in South Africa. Encompassing the territories of Lesedi, Midvaal, and Emfuleni municipalities within the Sedibeng District, the Vaal SEZ emerges as a catalytic force across a diverse range of sectors. Anchored by six strategic pillars, the Vaal SEZ propels a Green Energy-driven industrial transformation, steers investments into crucial food, agriculture, and agro-industrial domains, harnesses the potential of gateway logistics, and harnesses the captivating potential of the Blue Economy and Tourism Sector along the Vaal River. The Vaal SEZ’s resolute mission is to attract both Domestic and Foreign Direct Investment across multiple sites located in Emfuleni, Midvaal, and Lesedi Municipalities, a testament to its commitment to propelling job creation, skills development, and holistic economic growth in the heart of Gauteng’s thriving Southern corridor.
