South African Infrastructure Pipeline Swells to $16.5 Billion

South Africa’s infrastructure pipeline has increased five-fold since the start of the decade, with over 264 billion rand (about $16.5 billion) of projects expected to enter procurement over the next 12–18 months, per President Cyril Ramaphosa. The expansion signals a material near-term boost to public works activity that could support demand for contractors and related supply chains.
