Show Notes
The West Rand district in Gauteng is facing the imminent closure of regional gold mines, highlighting an urgent need for economic diversification and rehabilitation of post-mining environments.
Bokamoso Ba Rona was established by the Gauteng Infrastructure Financing Agency (GIFA), Sibanye Stillwater, the Far West Rand Dolomitic Water Association, and the West Rand District Municipality in response to this pressing need.
This initiative aims to deploy more than 30 000 hectares of privately owned land in the West Rand for intensive agriculture development.
Noxolo Mthembu, project manager at GIFA, Jurgens Kühl, head of advisory and management at CAPIC, and Craig Murrell, head of rural development and advisory services at Agri SA Enterprises, share more details.
