- Description: Region D is one of the eight so-called development regions created in terms of a regional development strategy mapped out by the South African government in a White Paper of 1982. The region essentially consists of the Eastern Cape Province, the Border corridor, and the nominally 'independent' homelands of Ciskei and Transkei (southern part) stretching from Uniondale in the west, to Middelburg in the north and Umtata in the east. There is clearly a need to develop a data base for this region especially as it has been afforded priority status in terms of the new regional development policy. The purpose of this Working Paper is therefore to provide a statistical profile of Region D, distinguishing where possible between various sub-regions within Region D and between Region D and the rest of South Africa. , Digitised by Rhodes University Library on behalf of the Institute of Social and Economic Research (ISER)

- Description: There can be little doubt that manufacturing industry is one of the principal vehicles in the process of economic growth and development. The effect of growth in output and employment in this sector usually stimulates other sectors making for an expansion of output and employment opportunities across an entire economy. This paper is thus concerned with the development of manufacturing industry in Ciskei over the past decade as well as its prospects for growth in the foreseeable future. The paper itself falls into five sections. Section 1 provides a brief historical overview of political and constitutional developments and of industrial growth in the Border region and in Ciskei ever the past fifteen years. Section 2 outlines the current incentive package and indicates its impact on the industrial sector of Ciskei. Section 3 considers the recommendations of the Swart Commission while Section 4 discusses the role and activities of the Ciskei People's Development Bank. Section 5 presents the findings of a limited survey of manufacturing firms in Ciskei and leads onto the final section which offers some recommendations for industrial development in Ciskei specifically and in Region D as a whole. , Digitised by Rhodes University Library on behalf of the Institute of Social and Economic Research (ISER)
