Public Works and Infrastructure Minister Dean Macpherson has welcomed the announcement by President Cyril Ramaphosa that the national government intends to turn South Africa into a construction site through increased infrastructure investment, and support for Infrastructure South Africa (ISA) as the central authority for the coordination and planning of major construction projects. “As Minister of Public Works and Infrastructure, I have publicly mentioned that my focus for the department will be to unleash a wave of construction projects in the country to increase South Africa’s economic growth and create sustainable jobs. I therefore welcome the President’s support for my department’s endeavours as we work to improve the lives of our people,” Macpherson emphasises.
