A unique guide to business and investment in the North West Province. Since 2009, this publication has established itself as the premier business and investment guide for the region. North West Business includes news and analysis of the most important sectors. Best known for its platinum mines, grain and livestock farming and tourism, the province is making a concerted effort to bolster its manufacturing capacity through a dedicated new strategy.
The boom in commodity prices that accompanied the international slowdown that resulted from the Covid-19 pandemic was a boon to the North West’s mining companies and helped to offset some of the hardship in the province during 2020 and 2021. This topic is covered extensively in the mining overview and in a special feature on the new uses to which platinum group metals (PGMs) are being put in the service of the rising cleaner energy movement.
