While a number of sectors are ripe for investment, two that are currently being exploited by the municipality for further growth are Manufacturing and Transport.
Transport and logistics
The Dr Kenneth Kaunda District Municipality has an important location along the N12 Highway, running from Johannesburg down to Cape Town, and westwards towards Namibia and Botswana.
As a result it receives large volumes of through-traffic. It is also an important rail transport centre, especially for the transportation of bulk products related to the agriculture and mining sectors.
Two good airfields, both of excellent design standards, offer unexploited potential for efficient and cost-effective air cargo services.
Entrepreneurs in the transport and logistics service sectors are encouraged to investigate the market potential offered by the municipality to provide various supply-chain services.
The need for break-bulk facilities, storage space and a distribution centre due to the rapid growth of trade in Southern Africa offers exciting opportunities.
