  1. STATE OF MPUMALANGA PROVINCE DEPARTMENT OF HOME AFFAIRS Presented by:Mr RSS ZithaAct Provincial Manager Caring, compassionate and responsive

  2. Mpumalanga - "the place where the sun rises" - is a province with spectacular scenic beauty and an abundance of wildlife, lying in the northeast of South Africa. Bordered by the countries of Mozambique and Swaziland to the east and the province of Gauteng to the west, it is situated mainly on the high plateau grasslands of the Middleveld, which roll eastwards for hundreds of kilometers. In the northeast, it rises towards mountain peaks and terminates in an immense escarpment. In places this escarpment plunges hundreds of meters down to the low-lying area known as the Lowveld. In the eastern region lies the southern half of the magnificent Kruger National Park, a nature reserve teeming with African wildlife in a total area roughly the size of Israel. Mpumalanga is highly accessible, with a network of excellent roads and railway connections, as well as a number of small airports. The Kruger Mpumalanga International Airport became operational in 2002. Nelspruit is the capital, and the administrative and business hub of the Lowveld. Witbank is the centre of the local coal-mining industry; Standerton, in the south, is known for its large dairy industry; and Piet Retief in the southeast is a production area for tropical fruit and sugar. What is unique to the Province?

  3. Despite the light of the sun we also generate electricity from coal in the Province. Two large sugar industry are found at Malelane in the east; Ermelo is the district in South Africa that produces the most wool; Barberton is one of the oldest gold-mining towns in South Africa; and Sabie is situated in the forestry heartland of the country. The Maputo Development Corridor, which links the province with Gauteng and the Port of Maputo in Mozambique, heralds a new era of economic development and growth for the region. As the first international toll road in Africa, the corridor is set to attract investment and release the local economic potential of the landlocked parts of the country. Mpumalanga is a popular tourist destination. What is unique to the Province?

  4. Mpumalanga Province has a population of approximately 3 365 886 and is dominated by Africans as they count to 93% of the total population. Almost 61% of the population resides on the rural areas whilst 39% on the urban areas. According to the 2001 Census, 27.5% of the population aged 20 years or older had no formal school education, and 41% of those in the age group of 15-64 were unemployed. Almost 55% of the province’s population lived below the national poverty line in 2002 (UNDP, 2004) About 67% of all households lived in formal dwellings, and 16% and 13% in informal and traditional structures respectively. On average, 4 persons shared a household. Approximately 80 000 undocumented persons are found in the area. Due to it’s proximity to Swaziland and Mozambique the integrity of the country is seriously challenged by the porousness of our border lines. What is unique to the Province?
