The Western Cape provincial government, led by the Democratic Alliance, has gone to great lengths to foster an investment friendly environment. Jobs, jobs, jobs! Premier Alan Winder and Cape Town Mayor Geordin Lewis have been at the frontlines of encouraging small to medium size enterprises and larger firms. After years of a majority domination, and despite receiving little to no national support, the WC has managed to drop the unemployment rate in the province to around 20%. To international readers, this may seem high but compared to the national 32% its pretty damn good.
