The Coega Development Corporation (CDC) will embark on stakeholder road shows geared to \u201cInform and Empower Communities\u201d in the Nelson Mandela Bay region during September and October.<\/p>\n

The outreach aims to inform residents about the benefits offered by the organisation such as job and training opportunities, and corporate social investment initiatives. The meetings will also focus on updating the public about the growing investments and developments at the CDC and Coega IDZ.<\/p>\n

\u201cThese road shows form part of CDC\u2019s stakeholder engagement plan meant to profile the CDC, its respective services and the benefits of services to local and provincial communities,\u201d said Ayanda Vilakazi, CDC head of marketing and communications.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe CDC\u2019s vision is to become the leading catalyst for socio-economic growth in South Africa and, given the CDC\u2019s proximity to Nelson Mandela Bay communities in particular, this means that action has to first start at home, and these communities must become an integral part of turning the vision into reality. Part of ensuring this is more frequent interaction with the communities,\u201d added Vilakazi, saying the CDC was on a mission to engage people throughout the province and South Africa.<\/p>\n

The road shows (all starting at 5:30 pm) will be held at:<\/strong><\/p>\n
