At the Mpumalanga Mining and Investment Summit hosted by the Mpumalanga Government, several organisations pledged investment.  A summary of the pledges was presented at the Nkangala District Municipality’s District Development Model meeting held on 10 November 2025.

There are no investments recorded for the Steve Tshwete Municipal area, except for projects related to the Eskom Power Stations within our municipality. It seems to be a Just Energy Transition for me, but not for you.  The business community must take its future into its own hands.  Reference: Presentations at NDM’s DDM Meeting held in November 2025.
