South Africa's Local Elections Put Service Delivery and Infrastructure Accountability in the Spotlight

 

Millions of South Africans casts their votes in a local government elections yesterday, electing leaders that would shape the country's local government for the next five years. These would be the political representatives responsible for delivering services such as water, road infrastructure, and electricity at local government. Citizens went into this election seeking accountability, good governance, and a better local infrastructure, a conversation that would be at the centre of focus at the conference of the South African Council for the Project and Construction Management Professions, next week. The two day summit to be held in Johannesburg, is expected to host 600 industry leaders, government officials, and decision makers in the construction sector. To discuss this further we are now joined by Sharon Shunugam, President at the South African Council for the Project and Construction Management Professions
