The Limpopo Provincial Government, under the leadership of Premier Dr Phophi Ramathuba, has embarked on a mission to enhance and boost the economy of the province.

This initiative aims to create jobs, stimulate economic activity, and improve the lives of Limpopo's citizens. As part of this effort, Premier Ramathuba and the MEC for Economic Development, Environment and Tourism (LEDET),Tshitereke Matibe, recently briefed the media about the upcoming 5th Limpopo Investment Conference.

Premier Ramathuba's leadership has been instrumental in driving the province's economic growth and development. As a trailblazer in Limpopo politics, she has set a high standard for leadership, breaking down barriers and paving the way for future generations. Her dedication to her work is evident in her hands-on approach, where she is often seen engaging with various departments and stakeholders.

The conference, themed "Limpopo Rising - Africa's New Investment Frontier," is scheduled to take place on October 30-31, 2025. The event will highlight over R32 billion in investment opportunities, solidifying Limpopo's position as a prime investment destination. A key highlight of the conference will be the unveiling of the Limpopo Investment Book 2025, a comprehensive guide that will provide investors with valuable insights into the province's economic landscape.

Premier Ramathuba's commitment to excellence and transparency is reflected in the province's recent audit results, where six departments received unqualified audit reports, and four departments, including the Office of the Premier, achieved clean audits. Her leadership has inspired confidence in the province's ability to deliver on its promises, and her tireless efforts to engage with communities and stakeholders have fostered a sense of trust and cooperation.

The 5th Limpopo Investment Conference is a testament to the province's commitment to growth and development.
