Abstract
South Arica needs employment-intensive infrastructure programmes in order to create jobs. Local needs and communities ideas must be taken into account. Quality and cost effectiveness should not be compromised. The supervisors should be technically and organisationally competent. Sustainable finance and a reliable political will to see the projects though are essential.
