The Coega Development Corporation (CDC) has secured its spot as a finalist in the Infrastructure Development Award category in the Vision 2030 Awards.

Dr. Ayanda Vilakazi, CDC‘s Head of Marketing, Brand and Communications, says the nomination highlights Coega’s capability and an extensive experience as leaders in infrastructure development and facilities maintenance, which include localization, procurement and ICT expertise.

“The organisation has project managed the implementation of a portfolio of national infrastructure programmes that is valued in excess of R10 billion since the inception of these programmes,” she adds.

The Infrastructure Development Award category recognises those organisations that are involved in innovative, sustainable and efficiency-enhancing infrastructure development in South Africa. The scope of the award includes roads and railways, ports, energy, ICT, water and sanitation, housing, access to basic services, healthcare and education.

This is the fourth prestigious award nomination for the CDC since the start of this year.

“As previous winners at this national award in 2017, we certainly look forward to making it a double as we have set our standard very high during the year in project management and the implementation of infrastructure projects in South Africa,” concludes Dr Vilakazi.
