Mafikeng, capital of South Africa's North West province, shows much potential, with new developments happening in this gateway to the South African Development Community. The redeployment of the Mafikeng International Airport (MIA) as an international port of entry and a hub for non-scheduled international air cargo services, will extend the capital’s existing infrastructure and an industrial development park, to be established on the city’s doorstep, adjacent to MIA, will open numerous economically sustainable opportunities into Africa and further into the rest of the world.
