Closing the infrastructure gap in South Africa is closely linked to infrastructure development on the rest of the continent, as it is to the creation of value chains that can advance Africa’s industrialisation, ultimately contributing to greater job creation, says Nelson Mandela University (NMU) Infrastructure Development & Engagement Unit (ID&EU) associate Bongani Mankewu. In conversation with Engineering News, Mankewu refers to Consulting Engineers of South Africa’s (CESA’s) recent call to boost the capacity of State-owned enterprises (SOEs) and government more generally by “opening the way for an injection of private engineering skills and expertise into the public sector”.
