Creating cities of Hope

The major metropolitan areas and secondary cities have a more significant impact and make a larger contribution to the economy than do most of our provinces. Over 30% of the people of South Africa are found in these areas, but their contribution to the Gross Domestic Product exceeds by far this percentage. A very high proportion of job opportunities are found in metropolitan areas. The budgets of these cities have a greater developmental impact than most provinces. They therefore warrant special attention.
