At the two-day event themed “Unlocking Infrastructure Delivery,” he highlighted the construction sector’s contribution to third-quarter employment figures after adding an estimated 176 000 new jobs and reducing the unemployment rate to 32.1%.
Addressing delegates from government, industry, labour, and civil society, Ramaphosa urged SA citizens to build a dream, laying the foundation for future legacies through reliable infrastructure.
Ramaphosa also emphasised the importance of infrastructure, saying it plays a role in reducing inequality.
