A starting point for building a credible local proposal and finding the right conversation at the summit. Each project's feasibility and permissions need their own checks.
Place and priorities
Mafube Local Municipality includes Frankfort, Villiers, Cornelia and Tweeling in the Free State. The summit brings local enterprise and public leadership together around agriculture, agro-processing, tourism, manufacturing, construction and mining, with supporting infrastructure and finance. These are discussion sectors, not a claim that individual projects are approved or funded.
