The perilous working conditions in South Africa's construction industry, plagued by the construction mafia, were brought to light when a Stefanutti Stocks executive narrowly escaped an attempted murder.

REVIEW: Developing infrastructure in rural areas has transformative power.

Posted by on
The economic fabric of South Africa is a complex tapestry, but unfortunately, rural regions often remain like unwoven threads, waiting to be integrated into the pattern of progress. The key to unlocking the potential of these areas lies in making strategic investments in infrastructure.

Herbert Theledi, Group CEO of JEQE Property Management (JEQE), recognizes rural communities as untapped reservoirs of talent, resources, and aspirations. However, their development is often hindered by inadequate infrastructure, which impedes economic growth and social well-being. To address this, Theledi proposes a paradigm shift in approach to rural areas.

Property development in rural areas can create business opportunities, attract investment, and address issues like unemployment and poverty. However, it faces challenges such as limited financing and insufficient infrastructure. Theledi suggests that businesses and the government collaborate to overcome these obstacles and promote sustainable growth.

Theledi also emphasizes the importance of recognizing property development as a tool for social transformation. He believes that by redefining property development as a transformative force, we can envision a future where no community is left behind. He calls for coordinated efforts to create a world where prosperity transcends all boundaries. This vision entails a commitment to building an inclusive society where everyone has the opportunity to thrive.
