This commitment was made clear during a strategic meeting held yesterday between the eThekwini Municipality mayor Cyril Xaba and TSAM President and CEO Andrew Kirby.

Their discussions centred on enhancing collaboration in essential infrastructure and economic development, paving the way for greater industrial growth in the area.

At the heart of their conversation were several crucial enablers for fostering the growth. These included plans for road upgrades, the assurance of a stable electricity supply, and improvements to water and sanitation infrastructure in the Prospecton precinct, the operational base for TSAM's manufacturing activities.

In attendance to support Xaba were key municipal officials, including City Manager Musa Mbhele and Economic Development Chairperson Councillor Thembo Ntuli.
