Transport infrastructure is the backbone of Africa’s economic development, yet the continent faces significant hurdles, from poorly maintained roads to unreliable public transport. These challenges restrict trade, limit job opportunities, and hinder regional growth. However, with strategic investment in modern and efficient transport networks, Africa can overcome these barriers, stimulate economic growth, and enhance the quality of life for millions of its citizens.
With just 77 days to go, the DEVAC INFRASTRUCTURE SUMMIT is proud to announce that Hon. Mkhuleko Hlengwa, Deputy Minister of Transport for South Africa, will deliver a keynote address at this premier event, set to take place on 14 – 15 May 2025 at the Marriott Hotel, Melrose Arch in Johannesburg, South Africa.About Hon.
