Manufacturing

By Manufacturing we understand any activities that change the properties of physical goods. The Manufacturing Sector used to be a fast growing sector in South Africa. On this site I have established a folder on Manufacturing alone. Here we will deal with all important issues of Manufacturing in South Africa. This will include the companies in the industry, their federations or associations as well as the eductational institutions providing training to those working in the sector.
