What will it take to turn the South African construction sector around? Catch our CEO Chris Campbell as he joins a panel discussion on 12 November 2025 at 14:00 for an engaging discussion on how the South African construction sector can be revitalised and how it can unlock the infrastructure potential needed to support economic recovery. 

Key points of discussion include steps that need to be taken to advance South Africa’s critical infrastructure expansion and refurbishment programme, projects that should be prioritised, and fair and corruption-free tender processes.
