KwaZulu-Natal’s economic development department said a new R13.4 million small-scale manufacturing and value-add centre in Nongoma is designed to help rural entrepreneurs improve their prospects.

The KwaMajomela Small Scale Manufacturing and Value-Add Centre was implemented through a partnership between the KwaZulu-Natal Department of Economic Development, Tourism, and Environmental Affairs (EDTEA) and the Zululand District Municipality.

The idea followed a feasibility study commissioned by the department, which confirmed the need for a dedicated small-scale manufacturing and enterprise development facility in KwaMajomela.

Speaking at the official handover in Nongoma, KwaZulu-Natal economic development MEC Musa Zondi said the facility was more than just infrastructure.

“This centre is not simply a trading site. It is an enterprise development hub, a skills development platform and a community economic anchor. It represents government’s commitment to building an inclusive and resilient local economy,” Zondi said.
