## Resource

Cape Town is unleashing a record R12.24 billion infrastructure blitz—more than double its previous spending—positioning itself as a national model for economic revival. Officials frame this as more than just budgeting; it’s an engine for jobs, growth, and improved public services. With a pilot program to share best practices across municipalities, the goal is to turn construction sites into symbols of progress, proving that smart infrastructure investment can rebuild trust and power the nation’s future.
