Public Works and Infrastructure Minister Dean Macpherson is from today to 28 February undertaking an official working visit to the Middle East.
The visit will include Kuwait, the United Arab Emirates, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and Qatar.
The Minister is joined by the MEC for Public Works and Infrastructure in Limpopo Ernest Rachoene and the Chairperson of the eThekwini Municipality Economic Development and Planning Committee Thembubuhle Ntuli.
The visit forms part of the Minister’s commitment to attracting infrastructure investment into South Africa which will help turn the country into a construction site, boosting economic growth and creating jobs.
In each country, the Minister and his delegation will meet with his state counterpart or equivalent, sovereign wealth funds, state-owned entities and private sector businesses that can invest in South African infrastructure projects.
The Middle East represents an untapped market for South African infrastructure projects, with limited investment having taken place in the past. – SAnews.gov.za
