August 2011 ISSUE 92

This month TradeInvestSA looks at the East London IDZ's drive to attract more investment. With the Richards Bay IDZ and OR Tambo IDZ being granted their licenses this year, there is renewed vigour in South Africa's industrial development drive. We also feature a busy events calendar for the coming months and a wide array of business and investment opportunities.

FEATURE ARTICLES:
Tired of playing second fiddle to its Eastern Cape big brother, Port Elizabeth, East London believes it may be on the verge of attracting a new wave of investment.
INVESTMENT OPPORTUNITIES:
Grab this opportunity to invest in the breadbasket of South Africa, the Free State. The Food Processing Park provides a great opportunity to capitalise on the favourable climate and the significant expertise that are on offer in the Free State. There is also scope for the further expansion of the floriculture sector in the province.
