CESA’S RESPONSE TO CABINET RESHUFFLE

Commenting on President Cyril Ramaphosa’s recent Cabinet reshuffle, Chris Campbell, CEO of Consulting Engineers SA (CESA), states: “Our new Minister of Electricity, Kgosientsho Ramokgopa, needs to seize the opportunity for collaboration with the private sector for funding and with our member companies, who have the technical knowledge and capability to deliver results with the speed our country so desperately needs in order for economic growth.”

While Campbell acknowledges that the reshuffle is unlikely to make much of a difference to the power crisis in the short term, he says he looks forward to Ramaphosa delivering on his promise of improved infrastructure delivery in the next two years, post the “real” Cabinet being announced.

CESA and its near-600 member companies, employing 17 000 people, remain ready and available to partner with government. “We’re here to support particularly the younger cadre of deputy ministers who’ve been appointed. We look forward to being of service to our country,” says Campbell.
