Agenda

  • 3:00 PM - 4:00 PMCorruption in the Construction Industry
    Infrastructure plays a crucial role in a nation's development by connecting individuals to opportunities and essential services. In South Africa, inadequate infrastructure results in frequent power outages, deteriorating road conditions, and insufficient access to healthcare and clean water. Although the government has made investments in infrastructure, many projects encounter delays, escalating costs, and unsatisfactory results, as illustrated by the challenges faced by the Kusile and Medupi Power Stations and the Giyani Water Project, among others. The construction sector is recognised as one of the most corrupt industries globally, with estimates indicating that 10-30% of public infrastructure funds may be lost to corruption. South Africa is planning to allocate R1 trillion for infrastructure development over the next three years, which poses a risk of losses ranging from R100 billion to R300 billion. The nature of infrastructure projects often creates an environment that is conducive to corruption, as highlighted by HKA's observations of widespread misconduct. This discussion will delve into the implications of corruption on infrastructure projects.
