The city has made a great effort in growing its investment pipeline and ensuring it has enough engineers and project managers to deliver the projects on time

The report paints a dire picture of chronic underinvestment in infrastructure in SA, giving us an overall “D” grade — a pass, but barely. It means not enough is being built to cope with growing demand, and that which has already been built is poorly maintained. Without urgent action basic infrastructure will deteriorate to the point where services collapse, logistics cripple the economy, and South Africans face possible danger.
Water and sewage projects will thus soak up half the nearly R30bn we plan to spend on infrastructure over the next three years. This will deliver meaningful dignity to people living in poverty, and will support the further rapid growth of our city.
