DURBAN - The KwaZulu-Natal economy is tasting a little sweeter this week.
The Gledhow Sugar Mill is being reopened and will save around 400 jobs.
The reopening follows a successful business rescue process that began in 2023.
It was possible through an almost R2-billion investment from the new owners.
Deputy Trade, Industry and Competition Minister Zuko Godlimpi will attend the relaunch.
Later in the week, he will turn his attention to the future of the industry.
Godlimpi will officially sign Phase 2 of the Sugar Industry Master Plan in Mount Edgecombe.
It builds on collaboration between government, business, and labour to stabilise and transform the sector.
