It is bordered by Botswana and Limpopo province in the North, the Northern Cape and the Kalahari Desert in the west, Gauteng province to the east, and the Free State to the south.

2 Its location in the Southern African Region makes the North West the perfect gateway for reaching the Southern African Development Community (SADC). The Bokone Bophirima Province has a surface area of approximately 105 076 km , contributing of the national area of South Africa and is home to 3 729 479 people. Map of North West Province 2 Mining is the mainstay of the North West economy and is the chief economic activity of the province. Platinum is the most important mineral as the province sits on the biggest concentration of platinum group metal in the world. Other minerals found in the North West include fluorspar, vanadium, rhodium, uranium, copper, limestone, slate, phosphate, manganese, coal and nickel.

3 In terms of agriculture, the northern and western parts are well-known for livestock farming, including cattle, sheep and game. The Bokone Bophirima Province is also the biggest contributor to the poultry industry in South Africa. The eastern and southern parts are crop-growing regions that produce maize (corn), sunflower, tobacco, cotton and citrus and stone fruits. North West has a number of major tourist attractions, including the internationally famous Sun City, the Pilanesberg National Park, the Madikwe Game Reserve and the Rustenburg Nature Reserve. An extensive road network connects the major commercial centres of the province to the rest of the country via a network of 1 785 km of national roads.

4 The vital east-west corridor links the east African seaboard at Maputo to the western African seaboard at Walvis Bay, running through the North West Province. Its strategic positioning has been further improved with the completion of the Trans Kalahari Corridor through Botswana and Namibia and these developments bode well for a thriving business and tourism economy. The main rail line from Cape Town to Zimbabwe runs through the provincial capital Mahikeng, linking the North West to several southern African countries, including Angola, Zambia and Botswana. In terms of airports, Mahikeng has an established airport with one of the longest runways in the world and Pilanesberg (near Sun City) also has an international airport, servicing primarily the tourism industry.

5 With regards to electricity, the North West has a well-developed electricity distribution network due to mining activities. The current electricity shortage experienced nationally, presents opportunities for developing other energy technologies and to invest in renewable energy.
