A South African engineering contractors’ lobby group has asked the government to better enforce security as criminals have disrupted or vandalised R25.5-billion of construction projects across the country. Armed gangs “recently” disrupted the R1.65-billion Mtentu Bridge project, in the Eastern Cape province, and a R2.4-billion oil-storage investment project at Saldanha, in the Western Cape, was halted on March 13 after people demanding to be part of the project burnt down properties, the South African Forum of Civil Engineering Contractors (Safcec) said in a March 18 letter addressed to Finance Minister Tito Mboweni.
