CONCLUSION 2 1.

INTRODUCTION  The Mpumalanga Provincial Government long recognised infrastructure as being essential for economic growth and the extension of access to infrastructural services to the poor has been one of its key strategies for overcoming the conditions of poverty and inequality post-1994.
(MPG) has  The massive rollout of infrastructure is recognised as an opportunity to support Government’s growth ambitions and will also be important as the economy rebuilds from the impacts of COVID-19.

 It is against this understanding that made MPG to identify specific shovel-ready projects and those that need to be factored into long-term infrastructure planning.
 However, inclusive growth ambitions cannot be achieved by government investment alone; greater private sector capital investment is also required.

IMPACT OF COVID-19 ON THE PROVINCIAL ECONOMY THE IMPACT OF COVID-19 ON THE PROVINCIAL ECONOMY AND LIVELIHOODS (cont…):  Covid-19 pandemic also had a negative impact on the provincial economic sectors;  Agriculture has been the least affected industry due to the demand for agricultural products locally and ;  Agricultural sector also showed job gains during the lockdown period.

 This industry recorded growth of more than 13,1% in the first 9 months of 2020.
 Latest economic data is also showing us that the world economy is gradually recovering, as well as the South African and Mpumalanga economies  Global growth is expected to rebound to 5.5 per cent this year, Sub-Saharan Africa is forecast to grow by 3.2 per cent and South Africa by 3.3 per is cent.

A provincial growth of 3.1 per cent expected this year.

MPUMALANGA’S ECONOMIC RECONSTRUCTION AND RECOVERY PLAN (MERRP)  The continuous spread of the coronavirus in South Africa and around Mpumalanga puts at risk achievement of the envisaged priorities in the National Development Plan (NDP) and Mpumalanga (MP) Vision 2030.

 However, with adversity comes an opportunity to reshape the provincial economy - build a new, inclusive economy that benefits all people of Mpumalanga.
 The MERRP identifies critical actions and key outcomes that should be taken in the short and medium terms in order to put the province on a positive trajectory.

 The plan places jobs at its centre to mitigate against the immediate impact of COVID-19.

 These job will be created through a massive infrastructure (economic and social) rollout programme that is supported by an efficient State.

KEY REFORMS IN PUBLIC INFRASTRUCTURE DELIVERY… The introduced reforms are aimed at achieving the following: Informed Decision Making Continuous Improvement Stakeholder Confidence Effective Use of Resources Collaboration and Co-operation 9 5.
SOURCES OF INFRASTRUCTURE INVESTMENT PRIORITIES The provincial priorities were sourced from the following: Sustainable Infrastructure Development Symposium South Africa (SIDSSA) Strategic Integrated Projects (SIPs) and Sub-Projects Budget Facility for Infrastructure (BFI) application to National Treasury Mpumalanga Economic Reconstruction and Recovery Plan (MERRP) 10 5.1 SIDSSA PRIORITIES A total of 276 projects were identified out of the President’s inaugural Sustainable Infrastructure Development Symposium South Africa (SIDSSA).
Mpumalanga (MP) was given an opportunity to presents projects to the symposium.
These projects (18) are within the sectors listed below - more information to be sourced from Infrastructure South Africa (ISA) regarding the pledges: ENERGY HUMAN SETTLEMENTS AGRICULTURE & AGRO- PROCESSING WATER & TRANSPORT OTHER SANITATION 7 4 3 2 1 1 MP PROJECTS 11 5.2 SIPS AND RELATED SUB-PROJECTS To date, the first 50 projects and an additional 12 Special Projects have been gazetted as Strategic Integrated Projects (SIPs) in terms of the Infrastructure Development Act.
Mpumalanga has only 03 projects that were gazetted.

AGRICULTURE & AGRO-PROCESSING HUMAN SETTLEMENTS MP PROJECTS = TBC 1 TBC 2 R335 million 12 5.3 BFI AND MERRP PRIORITIES – ECONOMIC INFRASTRUCTURE ECONOMIC INFRASTRUCTURE MP has identified 7 sectors intended to unlock the economic development and job creation potential within the province.

In addition to massive infrastructure rollout, the MERRP identifies other interventions that should be supported via strategic infrastructure investment.
In most of these interventions, alternative funding options will need to be considered in order to reduce reliance on provincial fiscus.

It also provides easy access to the coal power generating stations, tourism attractions, heritage sites and public amenities.

Farmers and other service providers also rely on good transport network to access their consumers.

More importantly, the quality of transport infrastructure is amongst the key determinants of an integrated transport system.

As such, the province infrastructure that has identified key tourism nodes across Mpumalanga and the critical supports the industry.

The presence of world-class facilities will attract national and international events and visitors and further inspire younger generations to participate in culture and sports activities.
SUB-PROJECTS SPORT - FOCUSED BOARDING SCHOOL (Mpumalanga High Altitude Training Centre) ARTS - FOCUSED SCHOOL OF EXCELLENCE (Cultural Hub) 17 5.4.4 AGRICULTURE & AGRO-PROCESSING PRIORITIES The agricultural sector plays an essential role towards economic growth; fight against poverty and food security, including labour absorption.

Mpumalanga produces between 3% and 15% of SA vegetable production depending on the vegetable type.

There are, however, very low levels of vegetable processing into food products.
To address this, the focus in the Province is towards small-scale farming and agro-processing for value-addition to revitalise the sector.

The intention is to compliment this with strong logistics services.

SUB-PROGRAMMES MPUMALANGA INTERNATIONAL FRESH PRODUCE MARKET) NKOMAZI SPECIAL ECONOMIC ZONE (SEZ) 18 5.4.5 DIGITAL INFRASTRUCTURE PRIORITIES Communications and the digital economy cut across all economic activity.
They contribute to lowering businesses costs, enable better government service provision, increase productivity, encourage innovation, reduce unemployment, and provide the poor with access to productive opportunities.

Given the potential that communications and the digital economy have on the goal of unlocking inclusive growth, they will be among the key enablers of Mpumalanga’s economic reconstruction and recovery.
SUB-PROJECT DIGITAL INFRASTRUCTURE DEVELOPMENT 19 5.4.6 ENERGY AND GREEN ECONOMY INFRASTRUCTURE Mpumalanga province is the hub of coal fired electricity generation in South Africa.

Economic activities such as mining, power generation and petro-chemicals production are the leading contributors of carbon emissions in the province and the country as a whole.
To address these challenges, the country needs a coordinated effort to decouple economic activity from environmental degradation and carbon- intensive energy consumption.

SUB-PROJECTS ESTABLISHMENT OF PETROCHEMICAL INDUSTRIAL TECHNOLOGY PARK 20 5.4.7 REVITALISATION OF INDUSTRIAL PARKS Maintenance backlogs are consistent across all classes of infrastructure but they are more prevalent within building infrastructure.
Amongst these, is old infrastructure in existing industrial parks especially around the former homelands arears.

Strategic partnership with SETAs and TVET colleges can assist with the implementation of the programme.

Also, most of the labour and construction materials will be procured from local suppliers and therefore this programme will go a long way in transforming the economy and creating jobs.
SUB-PROJECTS REJUVENATION OF EKANDUSTRIA PARK LIGHT INDUSTRIAL HUBS 21 5.5 BFI AND MERRP PRIORITIES – SOCIAL INFRASTRCTURE SOCIAL INFRASTRUCTURE The social infrastructure portfolio is divided into four (04) sectors and these play a pivotal role in the development of society’s quality of life.

In the past 27 years, MPG has made great strides towards the provision of social infrastructure which supports quality education, primary health and integrated human settlement.
Significant budgets are also required to make a positive impact on the maintenance of these facilities and other public buildings.

Equally encouraging is that new state of the art schools have been constructed throughout the province.
This confirms the desire of the province to improve the conditions for teaching and learning.

New Schools Infrastructure remains high on the agenda of the Department of Education in line with the promulgated Norms and Standards.

This must be supported by well-planned and managed infrastructure that enables the most efficient and effective service delivery.

In response, new hospital infrastructure (tertiary, regional, mental facilities.

etc.)

is being provided to support quality health care services.

On the other hand, significant maintenance interventions are required to address the maintenance backlog on strategic health facilities.
SUB-PROJECTS NEW MAPULANENG REGIONAL HOSPITAL NEW MPUMALANGA TERTIARY HOSPITAL NEW MPUMALANGA PSYCHIATRIC HOSPITAL 25 5.6.3 INTEGRATED HUMAN SETTLEMENT PRIORITIES According to the NATIONAL HOUSING NEEDS REGISTER, the Housing Backlog in the Province is currently sitting at an alarming figure of approximately 275 103, that is 75 767 in Gert Sibande; 127 801 in Nkangala and 71 535 in Ehlanzeni.
As a response to this Constitutional imperative of creating functional and sustainable human settlements, the Department of Human Settlement will be rolling out the following integrated human settlements through the INTEGRATED RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT PROGRAMME (IRDP), focusing on the installation of Bulk Water and Sewer Infrastructure; servicing of township residential and non-residential sites with municipal engineering services: SUB-PROJECTS NKOSI CITY INTEGRATED HUMAN SETTLEMENT SECUNDA WEST/ LANGVERWACHT INTEGRATED HUMAN SETTLEMENT EMZINONI EXT 11 AND EXT 13 INTEGRATED HUMAN SETTLEMENT KLARINET EXTENSION 10, 11, AND 12 [PHASE 2 INTEGRATED HUMAN SETTLEMENT 26 5.6.4 WATER AND SANITATION INFRASTRUCTURE Four large rivers run through Mpumalanga: Usutu, Crocodile, the Sabie-Sand and the Komati, but most of them are stressed.
The province’s biggest industries of forestry, mining, synfuel production and power generation are all thirsty activities.

Old mines in particular present problems in that they can pollute groundwater.

This means that Mpumalanga has to conserve its waters, build more dams and commission new water-treatment plants.

This will ensure water security for economic growth and also maintain the water security of large urban rural areas.
