Presidential Infrastructure Coordinating Commission The Presidential Infrastructure Coordinating Commission (PICC) was established as a structure to: address coordination, integration and ensured an accelerated implementation of the infrastructure programme; develop a single common Infrastructure Plan that will be monitored and centrally driven; develop a twenty-year planning framework beyond one administration to avoid stop-start patterns; identify who is responsible and hold them to account. Transform economic landscape of South Africa Create significant number of new jobs Strengthen the number of new jobs Integration of African economies From the spatial analysis of the country needs, 17 Strategic Integrated Projects (SIPs) have been identified and cover a range of economic and social infrastructure. All nine provinces are covered, with emphasis on poorer provinces. 9
Overview of the Strategic Integrated Projects 1. Catalytic 2. Enabling socio-economic Unlocking Northern mineral belt Greening the South African economy Electricity Generation Durban-Free State-Gauteng Corridor Development Electricity Transmission and Distribution South Eastern Node & Corridor Development Integrated Municipal Infrastructure Saldanha-Northern Cape Corridor Development Integrated Urban Space and Public Transport Agro-logistics and rural Infrastructure Regional Integration 3. Crosscutting Access to communication technology, SKA and MeerKat National school build Higher Education Revitalisation of public hospitals Unlocking the economic opportunities in North West Province 10
SIP 1: Unlocking the Northern Mineral Belt with Primary Mineral Reserves Waterberg as the Catalyst Platinum - Investment in rail, water pipelines, energy generation and 6323 tons transmission infrastructure will catalyse unlocking of rich mineral resources in Limpopo resulting in thousands of direct jobs across the areas covered. Urban development in the Waterberg will be the first major post apartheid new urban centre and will be a “green” development project. Mining includes coal, platinum and other minerals for local use and export, hence the rail capacity is being extended to Mpumalanga power stations and for export principally via Richards Bay and in future Maputo (via Swaziland link). The additional rail capacity will shift coal from road to rail in Mpumalanga with positive environmental and social benefits. Supportive logistics corridors will help to strengthen Mpumalanga’s economic development. SIP 2: Durban- Free State – Gauteng Logistics and Industrial Corridor Strengthen the logistics and transport corridor between SA’s main industrial hubs; improve access to Durban’s export and import facilities, raise efficiency along the corridor and integrate the Free State Industrial Strategy activities into the corridor and integrate the currently disconnected industrial and logistics activities as well as marginalised rural production centres surrounding the corridor that are currently isolated from the main logistics system. 11
SIP 3: South Eastern node & corridor development Promote rural development through a new dam at Umzimvubu with irrigation systems and the N2- Wildcoast Highway which improves access into KZN and national supply chains; strengthen economic development in PE through a manganese rail capacity from N Cape, a manganese sinter (NC) and smelter (EC); possible Mthombo refinery (Coega) and transshipment hub at Ngqura and port and rail upgrades to improve industrial capacity and performance of the automotive sector. SIP 4: Unlocking the economic opportunities in North West Province The acceleration of identified investments in roads, rail, bulk water and water treatment and transmission infrastructure will result in reliable supply, meet basic social needs and facilitate the further development of mining, agricultural activities and tourism opportunities and open up beneficiation opportunities in the North West Province. SIP 5: Saldanha-Northern Cape Development Corridor Develop the Saldanha-Northern Cape linked region in an integrated manner through rail and port expansion, back-of- port industrial capacity (which may include an IDZ) and strengthening maritime support capacity to create economic opportunities from the gas and oil activities along the African West Coast. For the Northern Cape, expansion of iron ore mining production 12
SIP 8: Green Energy in support of the South African economy Support sustainable green energy initiatives on a national scale through a diverse range of clean energy options as envisaged in the IPR2010 and to support biofuel production facilities. SIP 9: Electricity Generation to support socio- economic development Accelerate the construction of new electricity generation capacity in accordance with the IRP2010 to meet the needs of the economy and address historical imbalances. SIP 10: Electricity Transmission and Distribution for all Expand the transmission and distribution network to address historical imbalances, provide access to electricity for all and support economic development. Align the 10-year transmission plan, the services backlog, the national broadband roll-out and the freight rail line development to leverage off regulatory approvals, supply chain and project development capacity. 13
