The plan is set to provide catalytic projectsthat are meant to contribute towards the country’s long-term economic and social developmental goals.
Speaking on behalf of Cabinet, Minister in the Presidency, Mondli Gungubele, said the plan received a number of written comments after it was published for public comment in August 2021.
Inputs were also received from public consultations with various stakeholders in the infrastructure sector.
“The consultation included regional and continental bodies, such as the Southern African Development Community and African Union Commission for Infrastructure.
“The NIP provides for the development of the country’s infrastructure networks that are aligned to the National Spatial Development Framework and the District Development Model (DDM),” Gungubele said on Thursday.
