Following Minister of Finance, Enoch Godongwana’s Budget Speech today, on behalf of the Department of Public Works and Infrastructure (DPWI), we welcome the increase in investment for much needed infrastructure projects especially the Strategic Integrated Projects (SIPs) which were gazetted in July 2020 in line with the Infrastructure Development Act of 2014. Today, Minister Godongwana rightfully said in his Budget Speech: “infrastructure investments lay the foundation for inclusive and sustainable growth; they address supply-side constraints; and expand access to basic services”.
