Aluwani Museisi is Country Chair of Shell Downstream South Africa. He has pinned an article where he argues that South Africa's infrastructure challenge starts before money. He goes on to explain the discrepancy between what budget announced by the Finance Minister in public-sector infrastructure expenditure and how much is formally classified as public-private partnership expenditure.

He says that the figures expose a conversion gap between the infrastructure South Africa intends to build and the projects that are sufficiently prepared to attract finance and reach construction. 

To explain more on this, Thami Ngubeni spoke to Mr  Museisi.
