bull The Tshwane Auto City-Submitted to the dti as an SEZ Dinokeng Africa in One Day Game Reserve - Located in an economically depressed part of
the province with limited other tourism amenities or means of economic development is a Big Five game reserve facility that optimises Gautengrsquos gateway status and opportunity to diversify its tourism attractions
Roodeplaat Dam and Cullinan Tourism Hubs - Part of three tourism hubs that were identified for development in the Dinokeng area Roodeplaat Dam fits with the concept of developing waterways as a tourism attraction in Gauteng and serves as an important pull factor to the Dinokeng Game Reserve
