Ramaphosa's Construction Book Lists 170 Projects Worth $16.5 Billion
The list sits inside a wider portfolio Ramaphosa says grew from R340 billion in 2020 to R1.67 trillion, covering 195 projects.
- Only 55 of those 195 projects, worth R407 billion, are actually under construction.
- Just 32 projects, valued at R48 billion, have been completed to date.
- Gross fixed capital formation sits at 14% of GDP, versus a 30% target for 2030.
Why it matters: A government is judged by what it builds, never by the number it announces from a podium.
