The proposed cargo airport was introduced to the public and councillors during a site handover at the Welkom airport on Wednesday morning, 18 June.

Brian Emmenis, an experienced airshow commentator, who attended the function, says Sebastien Investments and Logistique, the company who will do the development, has committed an amount of R5 billion towards it.

Thanduxolo Khalipha, executive mayor of Matjhabeng, paid tribute to the late Vincent Matsepe, who, during his term as mayor, started negotiations to make the cargo airport dream a reality.

Role players, members of the public, and Matjhabeng councillors were invited to the handover during the late hours of Tuesday, 17 June.
