This afternoon I led a delegation with the MEC for E-Government, @TheGGDA CEO and departmental officials to the Equinix data centre for a meeting and a walk about of the institution.
What started as a pledge from the 2025 investment conference, now stands as a real investment for the people of Gauteng, proof of a government in action.

Omphi is still missing.
She's only 2 year.

She was from her Grandmothers care.
#BringOmphiHome Limpopo you need to stand up. In South Africa, South Africans only get solutions from fighting.
We fight for our kids protection. We FIGHT
We’re pleased to announce the appointment of Mrs @sthe_dlamini1 as Group CEO of the Gauteng Growth and Development Agency.

The second part of my day was spent at the @TheGGDA Annual General Meeting.
This important platform brings together the Board and executive leadership to account on the work done, assess organisational performance, and sharpen the strategic direction of the entity.
As Gauteng continues to confront economic headwinds, engagements like these are critical to ensuring that institutions such as GGDA are responsive, effective, and firmly focused on driving investment, supporting enterprise development, and accelerating inclusive economic growth across the province.

This morning, I am meeting with the Executive Committee of the Gauteng Growth and Development Agency (GGDA), led by CEO Ms Sithembile Dlamini.
This engagement is a necessary first step in working together to grow and transform the Gauteng economy.
Our focus is on anchoring the strategic overview of @theggda, its priorities, and its role in driving investment, economic development, and job creation in the province.

Thank you to the Gauteng Province for the invitation to the Gauteng Investment Conference.
In the context of the AfCFTA, the Gauteng city region remains a critical strategic hub for not only South Africa, but for the African region as a whole.

GAUTENG INVESTMENT CONFERENCE, 2026 🇿🇦
When we convened the inaugural Gauteng Investment Conference in 2025, we did so with a clear objective: to reposition Gauteng as a credible, structured, and execution-driven investment destination.
We received R312.5 billion in investment pledges, with 19 projects exceeding R80 billion already in the implementation phase; A strong signal to both domestic and international markets that Gauteng is open, organised, and ready to partner.
We have once more exceeded our target for 2026. We have managed secure pledges with an investment value of R205,6 billion. This is R5,6 billion more than our initial target.
