‘Over and above the foundation of reliable service delivery, including a South African-record R40 billion in infrastructure over three years, the City government’s funding of Special Purpose Vehicles and their various programmes upskill individuals and small businesses while simultaneously promoting Cape Town as an investment destination within their respective industries. The result is tens of thousands of jobs created and billions of rands poured into the local economy, which then leads to greater employment opportunities,’ said Alderman James Vos, Mayco Member for Economic Growth.
The most recent jobs data from Statistics South Africa show that the City’s sustained focus on skills development alongside investment promotion of target industries continues to bear fruit.
According to the Quarterly Labour Force Survey for quarter four of 2025, 113 000 jobs have been added in Cape Town in the last year, the highest of the metros, with employment now at a record level of 1 895 million people working in the Mother City.
Industries that saw particularly notable growth in Cape Town include finance, real estate and business services, manufacturing, and community, social and other personal services.
Highlights of these City-funded SPV programmes include:
‘These support mechanisms have not only directly created jobs for residents but have helped to strengthen Cape Town’s investment profile in these industries, ensuring that we will continue to see small and large businesses take up residence in the Mother City,’ said Alderman Vos.
