Investment Opportunity – Airport Expansion
Location: Matlosana N12 Route
The City of Matlosana owns and operates the PC Pelser Airport outside Klerksdorp. An opportunity exists to expand the airport to cater for cargo, national passengers or as a flying school. It is envisaged that the current Airport can be expanded into a secondary regional airport, similar in size to airports like Wonderboom, Margate, Phalaborwa or Richards Bay catering primarily for cargo.
Project Overview
The project entails undertaking an extension of the runway as well as upgrade of the terminal building and equipment at the PC Pelser Airport. A feasibility study has been completed. A PPP project finance model is envisaged between the developers and the City of Matlosana, with the possibility of a BOT arrangement. The expanded Klerksdorp Airport should ideally be designed to cater for an Embraer 145 (50-seater) in the medium term, and a B737-200 (130-seater) in the longer term, with the main runway length being increased from its current dimensions of 1500 x 18, to 2430 x 30 in the medium term, and 3749 x 45 in the longer term.
The Final Feasibility Report for the Micro & Macro Economic Assessment of the Proposed
Expansion of the Klerksdorp Airport shows that with an initial investment sum of approximately R128 million for the proposed airport upgrade for a proposed starting air traffic demand of 86 passengers per day, the proposed development is not in strict financial terms a viable proposition. However, taking into account an economic cost benefit analysis (CBA), there is a positive impact on the economy surrounding the airport, and such a project will benefit the Klerksdorp community at large.

Investment Opportunity – Renewable Energy - Biodiesel
The South African sunflower industry is concentrated in the North West Province (NW) and Free State (FS), which together account for 79% of the national area planted to sunflower. According to Grain SA, over the years, sunflowers have received the status of an ideal crop to grow in South Africa under conditions of low-input farming and marginal cropping conditions. Sunflowers’ ability to produce relatively consistent yields under adverse weather conditions and their overall characteristic of drought-tolerance makes it an attractive crop for producers in dryland production regions. Sunflowers can also produce a crop on marginal soils with very little or no additional fertiliser. With the increased global imperative for alternative energy sources, the opportunity exists in the North West Province to derive bio-diesel fuel from sunflower. Biodiesel is a cost effective alternative to fossil fuel.
Project Overview
The Company has secured the rights to produce bio-diesel from sunflower seeds and the City of Matlosana has availed land for the project where the refinery operations will take place. A feasibility study and project business plan have been concluded. A public private partnership is envisaged for the project. The funding will utilised for land cultivation, technology and capital plant, investment in the refinery and capital plant. Working capital requirements include refining and expressing plants operations. as well as refining and plant expressing operations. The project has various revenue sources as all parts of the sunflower seed will be used. The oil will be used for Biodiesel Manufacture, the oil cake for animal feed and the shell for charcoal production

Investment Opportunity – Establishment of a University of Technology Campus
Location: Matlosana
Background
An opportunity exists for the establishment of tertiary institution within the City of Matlosana. The Matlosana Local Municipality (MLM) used to have the Vaal University of Technology (VUT) Campus which closed its doors in recent years due to amongst other reasons lack of financial resources resulting in declining enrolment numbers and ultimately its closure. The campus catered for learners from the City and neighboring towns and regions, and had positive economic spinoffs for the municipality. MLM has since commissioned Mbuso Management Solutions to lead the process of reinstating the campus in the City; talks between the parties are at an advanced stage. A Private-Public-Partnership arrangement is envisaged for the project, with the key role players being VUT, Mbuso Management Solutions and Matlosana Local Municipality - with clear key performance areas meant to make the institution sustainable.
The campus will be a “community institution” with decentralized campuses across all four towns of the City with civil society and community business structures playing a meaningful role in the ownership of key assets and supply of critical services to the institution. The curriculum design of the campus will undertake an “outside-in” approach whereby thorough research of relevant developmental industry/sector needs and skills requirements will be undertaken so that the programmes offered prepare the youth to drive local/regional economic growth and to become global and futuristic citizens.
Although the campus will offer accredited programmes by VUT, there will be specialized, privately owned faculties that will offer international programmes of significance to the city’s growth trajectory as encapsulated in the City’s growth and development strategy aligned to the National Development Plan, the Provincial 5 Concretes, and Competency analysis of the City.
The other significant feature of the institution will be the creation of the “innovation hub” whereby bright stars from different faculties would be incubated over a period of time to create innovative and “disruptive” solutions to different industries and sectors.
Project Overview
Investment opportunities lie in the construction/refurbishment of existing teaching facilities, student accommodation, residences for general staff and specialists/teaching staff, specialized sector schools, innovation hubs and commercial properties.

Investment Opportunity – Ready-to-eat Foods Processing and Distribution
Location: Matlosana
Background
Food security, job creation, poverty alleviation and affordable nutritional foods are topical issues that Africa is facing. Extrusion is a mature and robust technology that can be used in Africa to attend to these issues. It is a continuous high pressure cooking process that is used to process grains and pulses. It is furthermore energy efficient, cost effective and has no waste streams compared to other traditional cooking processes.
The North-West University (NWU) started in 1998 with a research project to develop and localize twin-screw extrusion. This was done successfully and since 2007 twin-screw extruders and related equipment have been produced locally by CFAM Technologies which is a spin-off company of the NWU. CFAM is currently the only manufacturer of twin-screw extruders in Africa. Its extruders earned a reputation as ”Built in Africa for Africa”.
The NWU and CFAM establish jointly the Extrusion Research and Development Centre. The Centre is also supported by the Department of Trade and Industry (dti) through the Extrusion and Advanced Manufacturing Cluster (EAMC). It performs applied research to develop affordable nutritional foods from locally produced agricultural products. Applications for most locally available grains and pulses have already been developed.
Project Overview
The proposed extrusion plant with distribution system will produce ready-to-eat food extruded products from locally produced agricultural products. These will include snacks as well as cereal porridges that will be sold by street vendors as Meals-on-the-go or Meals-in-a-bag. The plant will have a production capacity of 3000 tonnes per year.
The project will entails the development of a new value chain from emerging farmers to street vendors that sell the extruded products to the local market. It will enhance and drive the local economy by addressing food security through the production of nutritious, marketable and affordable products.
The main advantage of the project is that 75% of the income in the value chain will go to 100% B‑BBEE companies. A total of 265 jobs will be created. A business plan has been developed. The project has an IRR of more than 25%. A project investor is required to enter into PPP with CFAM, the NWU and EAMC in establishing the plant and facility.
