Public Works and Infrastructure Deputy Minister Sihle Zikalala is set to address the 2nd National Contractor Development roadshow in the Northern Cape.
To be held in Kimberly, the roadshow is aimed at supporting emerging contractors to break through the lower level Construction Industry Development Board (CIDB) grading, by providing business growth and opportunities, funding, mentorship and skills development.
The roadshow is a response to concerns that many contractors remain in the 1 to 4 CIDB grading which limits their participation in multi-million-rand construction projects.
The roadshow will go to different parts of the country, making sure that no contractors are left behind. Led by the Deputy Minister, the National Contractor Development roadshow is a countrywide initiative to supercharge contractor development.
The campaign aims to advance economic transformation by reaching contractors across all nine CIDB grades, creating a platform for real, lasting change in the construction sector.
In collaboration with the board, client departments and development agencies, the roadshow brings opportunities directly to contractors’ doorsteps – whether in rural towns or urban centres.
