From delay to delivery. 🏗️🔥
A year ago, I vowed that a new contractor would be appointed for the Sarah Baartman Centre of Remembrance in Hankey, Eastern Cape, and that the project would be put back on the path to completion after more than 10 years of delays.
🤝 This morning, I made good on that promise by handing over the site to the newly appointed contractor.
Once completed, the Sarah Baartman Centre of Remembrance will honor her memory with the dignity and respect she deserves, while creating jobs and opportunities for the local community.
This is how we build a better South Africa. #LetsBuildSA 💙🇿🇦

Recap| Minister of Public Works and Infrastructure, Dean Macpherson, provides an update on the Construction Development Industry Board’s (cidb) efforts to blacklist non-performing contractors from doing business with the state.
#GovZAUpdates
Today, I announced that 13 additional construction companies have been removed from the cidb’s National Register of Contractors following findings of misrepresentation in their applications to upgrade their registration grades.
Since taking office in July 2024, 75 contractors have been removed for breaching registration requirements, compared to just 1 contractor blacklisted between 2002 and June 2024.
This marks a decisive shift in how we enforce accountability in the built environment.
We also announced that Moriel Infrastructure Group which had gained much public attention has also been blacklisted for various offences.
We are strengthening the cidb’s verification processes and addressing non-compliance to ensure that contractors doing business with the state have the financial and technical capacity to deliver. Public money must be protected, honest businesses must be able to compete fairly, and those who defraud the state must face consequences.
It’s going to be a busy week on the campaign trail in KZN. We’re either going to have a DA mayor or MK mayor, and we are determined to get maximum support for the DA so eThekwini can work for all. Let’s do this!

Tomorrow, I will provide an update on our efforts to hold non-performing contractors accountable and remove those who fail to meet the required standards from doing business with the state. I will be joined by CIDB Board Chairperson Khulile Nzo and CEO Bongani Dladla.
Since 2024, we have intensified efforts to ensure that contractors entrusted with public infrastructure projects meet the required standards and deliver on their commitments. Those who do business with the state must be held to account and we will continue working to restore integrity, protect public funds and ensure that our infrastructure projects deliver for South Africans.

🔥 5 DAYS TO GO TO OUR NATIONAL FINAL RALLY!
This Saturday, 31 October, join us in Tshwane as we enter the final stretch before the 4 November elections.
Your vote matters, make it count. Your town's future is in your hands.🗳️
Join us at the rally and remind your friends and family that 4 November is the day we stop the chaos, and start service delivery. Vote DA !💙
Thank you DA KZN for closing off the campaign with a bang! We have never campaigned so hard and gone to so many places like we have in the last 12 months. Our activists and public representatives have been stretched in ways we could never imagine. We are going to continue to be on the front line until 4 November so that we deliver an outright majority in uMngeni, govern eThekwini, KwaDukuza and many others. Let’s do this!
We’re going to make this happen @geordinhl!
We’re in the final straight as we head towards election day next week and it’s a confirmed two horse race in eThekwini between the DA and MK! 🏇🏇
The battle for control of eThekwini, KwaZulu-Natal’s only metropolitan municipality, has emerged as a two-horse race between the DA and MK Party, according to DA leader Geordin Hill-Lewis, as political parties make their final push for votes ahead of the November 4 local government elections.

Dear @IECSouthAfrica. Please can you assist here. Ward 18, Umzimkhulu, Paninkukhu voting district. You may have some questions for @MkhontoweSizwex.
Great to be in the Midlands constituency yesterday to meet with local business owners and speak at a public meeting to drum up support for our candidates in ward 25 and 26. I was very encouraged by the support and enthusiasm for the DA. We ate relentlessly campaigning every day and in every corner of KZN. Let’s do this!
