Limited capacity of project managers • Bulk infrastructure and serviced site Poor infrastructure plans Bulk infrastructure is inadequate and old Sites not serviced by municipalities Financing model for Bulk infrastructure Disparate infrastructure Grants • Increased migration to economic growing towns Platinum and chrome mining cluster e.g. Sekhukhune district (Greater Tubatse) Coal and petrochemical cluster (Lephallale corridor) Logistical cluster (Polokwane) • Intergovernmental synergy Late announcement and loading of subsidy affecting appointment of contractors and approval of beneficiaries Integration across sectors not yet efficient
