Through ongoing engagement, collaboration, and strategic alignment, the stakeholders that are part of the Gamagara-Tsantsabane Mining Region Compact continues to strengthen a shared regional vision for inclusive economic transition and resilience. As partners work together to address regional challenges and opportunities, such ongoing compacting provides a platform for coordinated action, as well as long-term planning, for collective impact at scale.
As momentum continues to build, the regional transition pathways and enabling environment is shaped by municipal, government and industry leadership and processes through a range of formal and informal processes and instruments.
Planning in Mogalakwena and Gamagara Municipalities has been constrained by fragmentation, limited participation and short-term thinking. Recent Spatial Development Framework compilations highlight that these processes should be understood and valued as dynamic, collaborative endeavours that foster alignment and shared learning, rather than merely producing a static document.
