The announcement was made via a press release posted on the Presidency’s website.\n\n \n \n\n\n \n \n \nThe factory located in the province of Gauteng, in the north of the country, will be able to produce 100 million bricks per year. It will supply the markets of Botswana, Malawi, Mauritius, Namibia, Zambia and Zimbabwe. According to the Head of State, this investment is part of a five-year investment program of 1.2 billion dollars led by the government.\n\n \n \n\n\n \n \n \n\u201cThis investment is an example of the productive partnerships that have been forged between business and government to grow our economy and create jobs,\u201d he said.\n\n \n \n\n\n \n \n \nCalled “Corobrik Kwastina”, the infrastructure is a subsidiary of Corobrik, a company specializing in the production of clay bricks, clay pavers and a range of building materials. The president said that the new establishment adds to 13 other clay brick factories and 14 kilns already present in the territory, before congratulating the company which employs around 2,500 people in its various structures across the country.\n\n \n \n\n\n \n \n \nAccording to Trading Economics, the South African manufacturing sector has been experiencing a slowdown since 2020, with a negative manufacturing output rate. Although it showed rising growth from March 2021 (reaching 101.8%), this growth quickly lost momentum and fell below zero several times between July and December 2021. Last February, this rate rose to 0.2% year-on-year, decelerating sharply from a downward-revised growth of 2%.\n\n \n \n\n\n \n \n \nFor President Ramaphosa, \u201cthe manufacturing sector is one of the priority industries\u201d which \u201cwill play a central role in creating job opportunities\u201d.\n\n \n \n\n","author":116,"featured_media":15598,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","tags":[1115,737,699,698],"location":[505,1041,861,883,695],"class_list":["post-15600","news","type-news","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","tag-actualite-2","tag-construction-2","tag-economy","tag-news","location-africa","location-namibia","location-south-africa-2","location-zambia","location-zimbabwe-2"],"short_url":"https:\/\/bit.ly\/3FBj94Q","have_related_news":"done","chapo":"

The manufacturing industry sector is, according to the South African president, a major challenge for the economy of his country. It has been slowing down for a few years.
