Africa’s modern tale of progress and promise As a Nigerian with strong ties to and work experience in Africa, I'm deeply intrigued by the continent’s burgeoning construction scene, despite prevailing challenges. Remarkable projects like Angola's Lobito Atlantic Railway and Rwanda's Kigali International Airport epitomize Africa's commitment to progress. I'm particularly enthralled by the growing emphasis on sustainability, as seen in Ethiopia's eco-conscious One World Trade Center. It underscores Africa's dedication to innovation and environmental stewardship. Closer to home, efforts towards affordable housing solutions resonate deeply. They not only tackle urbanization but also showcase the resourcefulness and resilience of African communities. Looking ahead, I am optimistic as global investments fuel advancements in sustainability and technology. Despite hurdles like political instability and labour shortages, Africa's construction sector marches on, shaping our continent's future. It is a great pleasure to see how construction is simplifying and changing lives, making tomorrow a better place for all.

South Africa finds itself at a crossroads in its infrastructure development journey. In recent years, mismanagement, neglect, a lack of skills and construction standards not being adhered to, has impacted the industry.

The newly appointed minister of infrastructure Dean Macpherson has noted that South Africa will be turned into a “construction site”, while in a recent address, President Cyril Ramaphosa committed to enhancing South Africa's infrastructure to align with the National Development Plan, the African Union’s Agenda 2063, and the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.
