TOP STORY – Lack of infrastructure maintenance, corruption will lead total collapse

GUEST – Zeph Nhleko - Chief Economist at DBSA
Africa now does not have a functioning integrated public logistics infrastructure anymore, with roads, rail, and ports all in disarray. The lack of infrastructure maintenance, corruption in which dodgy black economic empowerment companies have been gifted tenders and often build flimsy infrastructure and cadre deployees without the necessary technical skills who have poorly looked after public assets have now snowballed into the breakdown of the entire public infrastructure - causing a system failure. This means South Africans will begin to see the rapid collapse of infrastructure, the damage from disasters.
