Public Works and Infrastructure Minister Sihle Zikalala says he is asking Chinese companies to invest in South African infrastructure.
He is currently in China on a visit to meet with the China International Development Corporation agency.
Zikalala says the agency has agreed to support them financially with a grant to conduct feasibility studies for small harbors in the coastal provinces.
“It works in a form of triple “P” where as government we partner with the private sector both locally and globally. In this case, it might be a Chinese company. We build, they operate and over a period of time that facility is handed back to government in full. So, we are looking at approaches that are towards that kind of intervention,” he adds.
