Buffalo City includes East London, Qonce (formerly King William’s Town) and Bhisho, the seat of the Eastern Cape provincial government. East London is known for its Mercedes-Benz vehicle plant, the Port of East London and the East London Industrial Development Zone.
That mix of manufacturing, port operations and provincial government means training needs range from technical skills on the factory floor to public-sector administration.
