Deputy President Paul Mashatile addresses the Gauteng Investment Conference.
Deputy President Paul Mashatile says Gauteng remains the premier destination for investors seeking both high returns and economic resilience.
Speaking at the Gauteng Investment Conference 2026 in Johannesburg today, Mashatile emphasised that the province is ready to turn multi-billion rand pledges into tangible projects.
The Gauteng provincial government is looking to build on the momentum of last year’s inaugural summit, which secured over R300 billion in commitments.
“Johannesburg has long been the economic gateway of Southern Africa, and today it stands as the financial, industrial, and logistic hub that seamlessly connects African markets to global markets. However, we recognise that the next phase of growth demands deliberate strategic partnerships amongst government, business, and investors,” adds Mashatile.
