This briefing by Mduduzi Mbada of the Public Affairs Research Institute outlines the GGT2030 strategy for investing in ten high-growth sectors to drive economic growth, job creation, and infrastructure development in the Gauteng City Region.

• The GGT2030 strategy aims to create significant employment through various targeted programs, including the Tshepo1million initiative to create 250,000 additional youth jobs and the expansion of a welfare-to-work program to support 100,000 unemployed young women.
• Infrastructure investment targets include spending R60 billion by 2025 to create 100,000 jobs and a long-term goal of R1.3 trillion invested by 2030 across sectors such as water, energy, regional sanitation, freight, logistics, and e-government.
• The plan focuses on industrial and agricultural development through the establishment of three Special Economic Zones (SEZ) in Ekurhuleni, Tshwane, and Sedibeng, one Special Agro-Processing Zone in the West Rand, 15 revitalised industrial parks, 12 Agro-Parks, and five agro-processing facilities.
• Digital transformation goals include establishing the 'silicon valley of Africa' by integrating the innovation hub, Tshimilogong precinct, and eKasi labs, while aiming for 80% of the population to have internet access by 2024 and 100% of government services to be on digital platforms.
• The strategy emphasizes township economic growth, including a target for 30% of Government procurement to be sourced from township-based businesses and the transformation of taxi ranks into retail and commercial hubs.
