This ambitious venture will see the transformation of the current aerodrome into an international cargo airport, a development poised to revolutionise the region's economic landscape.
The project promises a myriad of benefits, including the creation of accommodation facilities, services for truck drivers, and significant boosts to the local tourism industry.
Additionally, the influx of international cargo will catalyse further economic activities, attracting businesses and investors, and providing new opportunities for the residents of Matjhabeng.
With each step forward, Matjhabeng is truly taking flight, soaring towards a future filled with promise and prosperity.
