OPINION: My proposal to resolve the challenges and risks facing the South African Construction industry

Posted by on
In response to the article Construction sector braces for a stormy year Marcus Dlamini shares with us his brief proposed working model to resolve the current risks and challenges facing the South African Construction industry in 2020.



Here is my brief proposed working model to resolve the crisis facing the South African Construction industry in 2020  which involve both the government and external parties (private sector and other stakeholders)

1.An integration between between public and private sector.
2. Roll out of governance especially in relation to transformation and interpretation of the law by those who are not legal fundis. 
3. Infrastructural development plan - I am saying this is most important key aspect or strategic move that a country should invest in. 

For example if we say that SA should look deep into replacing old infrastructure that is decaying into a new infrastructure...how can we go about in doing so ...how do we rope in all stakeholders into this strategic move. This includes contractors, engineers , planners, economist, policy makers, social as whole .. A detail calculated plan that will not make people feel that they have been excluded in a plan.

Do you agree with Marcus? Please share your views

    Agree, decision makers often forget/ignore the social part when planning or doing engagement

      Indeed I would also add that we need more Construction Professionals in the planning phase and less Politicians.
