Minister of Public Works & Infrastructure, Dean Macpherson, and the Acting Head of Infrastructure South Africa (ISA), Mameetse Masemola, will on Tuesday, 15 October 2024, announce the next steps Infrastructure SA is taking to turbocharge investment into Infrastructure projects in South Africa to grow the economy and create jobs. 

Research from international institutions such as the World Bank, McKinsey Global Institute, and the International Monetary Fund (IMF) shows that state efforts to increase infrastructure investment by 1% can contribute to economic growth of between 0.4% and 3%, a goal the Minister is committed to achieve.

The Minister will use the opportunity to unveil the innovatory approach Infrastructure SA is taking with regards to infrastructure investment, the current infrastructure investment pipeline in South Africa, and how the minister plans to expand the role of Infrastructure SA to turn the country into a construction site.
