Show Notes
South Africas Auditor-General reveals alarming delays in public infrastructure projects, with 72% running late and average delays reaching 41 months. Common issues include slow hiring, lack of penalties for underperformers, red tape, and late payments. Human settlements face the biggest challenges, with some projects delayed for nearly 20 years. Maintenance is also a concern, with half of audited facilities skipping required checks and most ignoring fire and safety rules. President Ramaphosas infrastructure spending plans face risks due to lack of skills and planning.
