The socio-economic success of Africa depends on the commitment of African countries to invest significantly in the development of their infrastructure. South Africa is one of the like-minded countries on the continent that has embarked on infrastructure projects as a catalyst for economic growth.
Numerous studies have shown that investing in building or upgrading roads, ports, clinics, schools and homes undoubtedly contributes to boosting economic growth and creating much-needed jobs. Road infrastructure, in particular, facilitates accessibility, enhanced trade and economic productivity for a country.
According to President Cyril Ramaphosa, infrastructure development is the flywheel of the engine of South Africa’s economy and will yield tremendous benefits for the country.
