“BCC recognises that service delivery is key in ensuring that we attract the much needed investment. We are happy that we have been declared a SEZ in leather and textiles sectors, as a SEZ we invite all interested business people and investors to come and invest in the City of Kings. We offer serviced and unserviced land and have special investment incentives to give you relief as you invest and grow your business,” said Clr Moyo.
