Panellists to debate what it will take to revive local construction sector

23rd October 2025

     

Font size: - +

South Africa’s construction industry stands at a critical crossroads – burdened by years of underinvestment, maintenance backlogs and persistent challenges such as corruption, skills shortages and safety concerns. Against this backdrop, Creamer Media will host a webinar on November 12 at 14:00, to discuss what it will take to turn around South Africa’s construction sector.

The session will bring together a panel of experts to unpack practical solutions for restoring growth and stability in one of the country’s most vital economic sectors. Speakers will explore the urgent steps needed to advance a large-scale infrastructure expansion and refurbishment programme to address years of neglect and delayed maintenance.

The discussion will also focus on identifying the most critical infrastructure projects that must be prioritised to drive economic recovery and job creation. Another key theme will be ensuring transparency and fairness in the tendering process – an essential step toward restoring public trust and attracting private investment.

Persistent challenges such as the so-called “construction mafia” and disruptions to project delivery will also come under the spotlight, as will the financial constraints facing government and industry players. The panel will debate whether South Africa’s current funding mechanisms and institutional systems are equipped to support sustainable infrastructure development.

Equally important, the webinar will consider how the country can fast-track construction and maintenance efforts while upholding the highest standards of health, safety and environmental compliance.

This timely discussion will offer valuable insights for policymakers, industry leaders, investors and professionals working to rebuild confidence in South Africa’s construction sector.

Don’t miss this opportunity to gain a deeper understanding of the road to recovery for one of the country’s most essential industries. Register here.
