North West, National Government Set to Sign MOUs to Fast-Track Pilanesberg Airport Rebuild

Infrastructure South Africa assumes project-preparation responsibilities to ready the rebuild for implementation.

Overview

  • Premier Lazarus Mokgosi and Public Works Minister Dean Macpherson are scheduled to formalise two agreements at Pilanesberg Airport outside Rustenburg.
  • The first MOU pairs Infrastructure South Africa with the North West Department of Community Safety and Transport Management to provide project preparation and packaging for the redevelopment.
  • Pilanesberg Airport, the province’s only commercially licensed airport, suffered extensive damage in a 2023 fire.
  • A second MOU enrolls the Ramotshere Moiloa Local Municipality in Zeerust into ISA’s Adopt‑a‑municipality pilot programme.
  • Officials frame the initiative as a step to reduce delays, boost investor confidence, and support tourism and regional economic activity linked to the Pilanesberg area.
