Our anniversary is a moment to applaud outstanding South African civil engineering as showcased by our world-class national roads, bridges and interchanges.

The minister of transport, Sindisiwe Chikunga, never forgets to make this point during her oversight visits to our major infrastructure development projects.Sanral’s 25th anniversary this year is a celebration of major strides made and a reflection on the long road still ahead as we move from our current approximately 23 500km to 35 000km of national roads.

Over our 25 years of existence, we have built big businesses in our industry and we must continue to do so as these companies are national assets and repositories of considerable skills, capacity, knowledge, experience, expertise and intellectual property–all of which have placed our country and our national roads on the international map.

Without meaningful transformation and a willingness to empower more truly black companies to tangibly and sustainably benefit from Sanral, we are doing the country a long-term social, economic and political disservice and injustice. Of course, when we raise these inconvenient and uncomfortable truths those who are anti-transformation resort to lies and insults to the effect that we, as the current board of Sanral, are destroying the organisation and killing construction companies.
