PRESIDENT Cyril Ramaphosa has given the construction industry the green light to initiate mega infrastructure projects to turbocharge the country’s economy through infrastructure development.

- SIYABONGA SITHOLE

Ramaphosa said his administration has placed the infrastructure development programme at the centre of the country’s economic growth.

He stated that the RI trillion medium term budget allocation by Finance Minister Enoch Godongwana is central in his administration's bold plans for the country, with all the involved ministers also committed to seeing the country being turned into a big construction site.

On Wednesday, Finance Minister Enoch Godongwana announced that the government will allocate over R1 trillion to public infrastructure projects over the Medium-Term Expenditure Framework (MTEF).

The construction industry's recent job growth, as highlighted by the labour force survey, and the favorable budget allocation have bolstered President Ramaphosa’s confidence.
