The third edition of South Africa’s ‘Construction Book’, which lists 110 infrastructure projects that are expected to enter procurement over the coming 12 to 18 months, has been released by Infrastructure South Africa.
Its publication coincided with the 2026 edition of the Sustainable Infrastructure Development Symposium South Africa held in Cape Town, where President Cyril Ramaphosa announced in a virtual address that the projects had a combined value of some R395-billion.
He also confirmed that quarterly performance reports on the Construction Book would be published “to ensure that these projects move from the page onto the ground”.
Public Works and Infrastructure Minister Dean Macpherson said that while there had been some improvement in converting projects from previous books into procurement activity, it was “not yet good enough” at 58%.
“From now on, quarterly performance reporting will identify which projects are advancing, which are falling behind and where intervention is required,” Macpherson added.
