Local Economic Development (LED):
Poverty alleviation and job creation are the key focus area of our LED programme. Job opportunities are created through entrepreneurial training that entails a sound support system, the marketing of products, use of technology and access to finance.
The Municipality encourages economic diversification through agriculture and many other related industries. Emphasis is also on job creation via the development of small, medium and micro enterprises (SMMEs). Some of the key projects are:
| MALIBONGWE SEWING PROJECT | |
|---|---|
 |
This project was started four years ago with an intention of reducing poverty and enhances entrepreneurship to the women of Leandra |
| SAKHISIZWE COMMUNAL FARM | |
|---|---|
 |
Through the department of land affairs the land was bought and the funds that was left over, inconjunction with the department of agriculture implements were bought i.e. tractors, ploughs, trailers etc. They are currently planting crops like vegetables although the potential of the farm goes beyond that. |
