LETS MAKE UPHONGOLO A SUSTAINABLE SMALL TOWN IN SOUTH AFRICA

The town is surrounded by sugar cane farms beyond which are high density traditional authority settlements with sparsely distributed game farms.

Agriculture is the main economic sector in uPhongolo Local Municipality which is main based on mono crop i.e. sugarcane. There is limited growth in manufacturing. The local economy is characterised by absence of products beneficiation economic activities. Commodity goods are hauled to other industrial area for further processing as a result the employment creation potential of the area is eroded.

It is in appropriately located to reap the benefits of intensive tourism initiatives due to its natural beauty, existence of tourism related development as well as inherent tourism potential.
