Infrastructure development is the backbone of economic growth, yet the persistent challenge of funding gaps continues to hinder progress. On SABC 1’s Asikhulume – Let’s Talk, Nombulelo Nyathela, Chief Director of External Relations and Communications at Infrastructure South Africa (ISA), delivered a compelling discussion on how strategic investment can transform the country’s future.
Nyathela’s insights were concise, eloquent, and directly addressed the core issue—bridging the infrastructure funding gap through private sector collaboration. She highlighted ISA’s proactive approach to mobilizing private investment, emphasizing that by 2030, infrastructure should contribute 30% to GDP. This ambitious goal requires not only financial backing but also effective project preparation to ensure efficiency, speed, and impact.
With Nyathela as an Exco Member, ISA is spearheading initiatives that accelerate project delivery and unlock sustainable development opportunities. Her professionalism and deep understanding of infrastructure challenges reinforce ISA’s crucial role in shaping South Africa’s economic landscape.
Asikhulume has allowed us to dive deeper into these critical discussions and learn how infrastructure planning is driving the nation forward.
