World Cup host nation invites CIOB leader to advise on spending

摘要

As all eyes turn to South Africa for the World Cup, the country's construction industry will be enjoying a breathing space between delivering five new-build stadia, including Johannesburg's Soccer City (above) and a planned three-year government investment programme in the country's infrastructure worth an estimated ￡87bn (1 trillion ZAR).rnIt has now been announced that CIOB Africa president Bridgette Gasa will play a key role in advising the government on how its investment should be spent. Gasa has been appointed to an influential committee that will determine priorities over the next 20 years.
