Delivered by Finance Minister, Enoch Godongwana, the national 2026 Budget has reinforced infrastructure investment as a central pillar of South Africa’s economic growth, with public-sector infrastructure spending set to exceed R1 trillion over the medium term.

The Budget confirms the government’s commitment to shift spending towards growth-enhancing capital investment while stabilizing public finances. For the construction and engineering sector, this signals a significant project pipeline across transport, energy, water, and social infrastructure; along with reforms designed to accelerate delivery and increase private sector participation.
