Although small in comparison to the vast metropolis in the other South African provinces, the city has become the centre for regional economic development in the north. Polokwane is in the centre of the largest diversity of agricultural developments in South Africa, known for its avocados, bananas, maize, tropical fruits and cattle ranching. The district is one of the premier hunting destinations in South Africa and opportunities for development of tanning as well as processing of meat are vast. Surrounded by extensive platinum, gold and diamond developments, opportunities for the manufacture of jewellery are very real and infinite timber plantations would open doors for those ready to invest in the manufacture of wooden furniture. Polokwane is the centre and home to Limpopo`s government offices, the financial sector and regional retail and trading. It`s a beautiful city surrounded by outstanding tree-lined suburbs, unusual townships and fascinating rural villages.
