Overview

The mission of the Richards Bay Industrial Development Zone (RBIDZ) is to attract sustainable investments that stimulate economic growth, job creation, beneficiation of resources and the empowerment of people.

The Zone's strategic goals are to: attract sustainable new investments; establish a world-class IDZ infrastructure; secure financial sustainability; expand the skills base and creating employment; and build a high-performing, well-governed organisation.

The purpose of proclaiming the RBIDZ was to: facilitate the creation of an industrial complex having strategic economic advantage; provide the location for the establishment of strategic investments; enable the exploitation of resource-intensive industries; take advantage of existing industrial capacity, and promote integration with local industry and value-added production; create employment and other economic and social benefits in the region in which it is located; be consistent with any applicable national policies and laws, as determined by appropriate environmental, economic and technical analyses; develop and operate an SEZ in the area designated in the operator permit; provide quality services infrastructure to attract internationally competitive, export-orientated manufacturing businesses; take ownership of the assets and affairs of the Zone and be responsible for ongoing management and maintenance thereof; establish a one-stop service centre and provide commensurate human resources capacity, expertise and suitable technologies; make arrangements for and mobilise requisite resources for the development of the Zone; and operate in a manner that recognises that the shareholder are prioritising development, socio-economic improvement and long-term sustainability, rather than financial profit.
