DURBAN: The Minister of Public Works and Infrastructure, Dean Macpherson, and KwaZulu-Natal MEC for Public Works and Infrastructure, Martin Meyer, are set to sign a historic Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) to collaborate on addressing public assets in Durban. EThekwini Metropolitan Municipality Mayor, Cyril Xaba, will also be part of the signing.

According to South African Government News Agency, during the signing ceremony, a list of properties will be announced that will, in the coming months, be made available through a request for proposals. This initiative aims to potentially attract private sector investment to refurbish and revitalise the buildings.

The signing will mark an important milestone towards generating economic growth and creating jobs in the city. The collaboration is expected to turn the country into a construction site, using public assets for the public good.
