President Cyril Ramaphosa has said that even if government spends all it can on infrastructure development, the backlog remains so immense that it would take billions of rands and decades more to fill it without a contribution from the private sector.
Ramaphosa was speaking at the 2021 Sustainable Infrastructure Development Symposium for South Africa (SIDSSA) on Thursday morning. He told those in attendance that government was ramping up spending on the development of infrastructure as a “flywheel” for South Africa’s economic recovery.
