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.

“You should have the privilege of being offended in life. Being offended is good, because it means one of two things: either you care deeply enough about what is being said, or something you have believed for a long time has been challenged.”

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.
@ECSAOfficial engineering practitioners, CEOs and Boards of Voluntary Associations. #LGE2026
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…

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.

@ECSAOfficial Professional registration, ethics and continuous development are hallmarks of a capable state. Let's build municipalities that work for everyone. #ProfessionaliseTheState #LocalGovernment #LGE2026

Service delivery failures often reflect capacity failures. Let's strengthen municipal engineering and local government management to build a better future. @imesa_za @SALGA_Gov

eThekwini is heading towards a serious water supply crunch.
That makes fixing leaks, reducing water losses and repairing failing infrastructure urgent.

Pretoria turns purple each spring as 65,000+ jacaranda trees bloom — a dazzling sight with deep roots in SA’s history. Planted since the 1800s, these trees aren’t just beautiful — they’re an icon.

A municipality cannot deliver engineering services without engineers. Professionalisation means putting the right professionals in the right roles. #ProfessionaliseTheState #EngineeringLeadership #Technologists #Technicians #Engineers #LGE2026

Communities deserve reliable water, functioning roads, safe bridges and effective sanitation. Professionalising the state means ensuring qualified professionals are appointed to deliver these essential services. #ProfessionaliseTheState #ServiceDelivery #AgendaForEngineering #LGE2026

Politicians must do the right thing. Infrastructure tenders should be awarded only to qualified, registered consulting engineers and contractors. Anything less risks unsafe infrastructure, cost overruns, unfinished projects, and lost jobs. South Africans deserve better value for money.

The EFF has pledged to scrap the tender system if it comes to power in eThekwini. Mayoral candidate Hlengiwe Mkhaliphi argues that tenders benefit one individual at the expense of unemployed people in the community. #eNCA #WeTheNation
