The Minister is joined by the MEC for Public Works and Infrastructure in Limpopo Ernest Rachoene and the Chairperson of the eThekwini Municipality Economic Development and Planning Committee Thembubuhle Ntuli.

The visit forms part of the Minister’s commitment to attracting infrastructure investment into South Africa which will help turn the country into a construction site, boosting economic growth and creating jobs.

  2. Fun South African Fact: South African Dr. Christiaan Barnard performed the world’s first heart transplant on 3 December 1967 at Groote Schuur Hospital in Cape Town. The groundbreaking surgery was carried out on Louis Washkansky and Dr. Barnard was assisted by a large and exceptional team of surgeons, nurses and technicians. One of Dr. Barnard’s assistants was Hamilton Naki, a black laboratory assistant who had worked previously as a gardener and went on to work in the animal laboratory at the University of Cape Town. He had assisted Dr Barnard with research leading to the transplant. In the apartheid days, Naki had no access to higher education due to his race. Despite being unable to access formal training, he learned from and assisted university researchers and went on to do incredible work.
