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.

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.

I am all for engineers having a greater voice in public sector infrastructure delivery, but tell me how often have the industy's own professional councils acted against engineers who have failed due to incompetence, negligence or corruption (and we have a lot of all three)?
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.

CONSTRUCTION BOOK | South Africa’s social infrastructure sector represents an investment value of R52 billion across 16 projects, highlighting the critical role of infrastructure in improving service delivery and quality of life. Featured in the third edition of the Construction Book, these projects span essential public infrastructure, including schools, hospitals, housing, water and sanitation systems, and other community facilities. They are key to building inclusive communities, reducing inequality, creating jobs and supporting long-term socio-economic development.

@eNCA Dan Moyane @MasegoRahlaga: When will we see engineers on the #LGE2026 panels? Every municipality needs a qualified City Engineer. It's time political parties commit to appointing actual technical professionals to run our cities. #SouthAfricanMorning

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

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.

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

BILLIONS IN PROJECTS NEED BETTER CONTRACTORS
A new programme aimed at strengthening South Africa’s construction sector has been launched.
The Certificate in Construction Management (CCM), developed by the Construction Industry Development Board (cidb) and the University of the Free State, is designed to help emerging contractors build stronger and more sustainable businesses.
Open to cidb-registered contractors in Grades 2 to 6, it aims to bridge the gap between technical construction expertise and business leadership.

GOVERNMENT DROPS WIND AND SOLAR
The SA government has unveiled a major shift in South Africa's energy strategy, prioritising 9,600MW of new capacity from battery storage and gas-fired power while excluding new wind and solar projects from its latest procurement plan.
Electricity and Energy Minister Kgosientsho Ramokgopa said the move is aimed at addressing growing challenges caused by surplus electricity and increasing renewable energy curtailment on the grid.
The plan includes 4,600MW of battery storage and 5,000MW of gas-to-power generation over the 2026 to 2037 period.
Batteries will store excess electricity for use during peak demand, while gas plants will provide reliable backup power when needed.
The Independent Power Producer Office will oversee both programmes, which will also be open to Eskom, marking a significant shift in South Africa's evolving energy landscape.

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