Don't ask politicians whether they support infrastructure. Ask whether they support engineers leading infrastructure. There is a difference. #EngineeringVote #LGE2026 #EngineeringPractitioners

The #LGE2026 election should not be about personalities. It should be about who can keep the water flowing, the lights on, and the roads maintained. #EngineeringVote

Tshwane Mayor Nasiphi Moya says officials at the Bronkhorstspruit Water Treatment Works failed to report the chlorine problem to the City, and they failed to alert residents that the water had not been chlorinated. Bronkhorstspruit Water Treatment Works #WaterCrisis #EngChangeThings #LGE2026
🚨 Who is supposed to stop a malfunctioning water treatment plant before communities are forced to drink contaminated water?
🔘 Mayor
🔘 MMC
🔘 City Manager
🔘 City Engineer / Technical Services Manager
🔘 Plant Manager

People study engineering to manage critical infrastructure like the Bronkhorstspruit Water Treatment Works, to serve as City Engineers leading municipal service delivery, and to head water and sanitation departments and utilities.
@GovernmentZA - Put engineers where engineering decisions are made.

Politicians need votes.
All we need is love.
Society needs jobs, roads, water and electricity.
But none of these services happen sustainably without engineering.
No engineers. No infrastructure. No votes. No love.

More than 400 cases of gastrointestinal illness strengthen our call for an independent #EngineerGeneral as a #Chapter9Institution.
Such an office could empower citizens and stakeholders to hold @CityTshwane, @DWS_RSA, @GovernmentZA and engineering practitioners accountable for unsafe water, poor value for money, weak implementation and inappropriate engineering solutions.

Your vote is also an engineering vote.
Before #LGE2026, ask every political party: What is your agenda for engineering? Look beyond promises. Examine their manifestos and governing records on infrastructure, technical capacity, professional independence and service delivery.
Engineering practitioners must make their voices and votes count.

Engineers must also raise their hands, engage the media and society, and put forward practical solutions, including ring-fencing service delivery from political and other undue interference.

Political analysts have a voice. Economic analysts have a voice. Legal and election analysts have a voice. Engineering must have a voice too.
You cannot separate Municipal's infrastructure and service-delivery challenges from engineering. Let us bring #EngineersAtTheTable.

The dream is to see @ArabileG and other leading commentators acknowledging the critical role of #Engineers and inviting engineering practitioners to the table when service delivery is discussed. Our democracy depends on functioning infrastructure, and functioning infrastructure depends on engineering. #EngineersAtTheTable #EngineeringMatters youtube.com/watch?v=QjeawLiS…
Real political leaders embrace engineers and the engineering profession because they understand their critical role in building the economy. Sidelining engineering expertise has contributed to infrastructure decline, poor service delivery and economic stagnation.

South Africa cannot expect professional service delivery from municipalities that lack professional technical capacity. Water systems, roads, sanitation networks and public infrastructure require qualified, competent and professionally registered engineers to plan, build, operate and maintain them.
Professionalising the State means appointing the right people in the right positions, protecting professional advice, and ensuring that technical decisions are made by qualified professionals.
No professional engineering capacity = failing infrastructure.
@ECSAOfficial Engineering Practitioners #engineers = safer communities, better services and better value for money.
#ProfessionaliseTheState #MunicipalExcellence #EngineeringLeadership #ServiceDelivery #IMESA #TheCaseForEngineering #LGE2026
The dream is to see engineering practitioners #engineers regularly at the table as analysts and commentators on radio, TV, podcasts and other public platforms, alongside political, economic, legal and election analysts. Engineering deserves a voice in shaping the national conversation. @SABCNews
