            <description><![CDATA[South Africa stands at a pivotal moment to redefine infrastructure as a vehicle for climate-resilient development, economic inclusion and measurable environmental impact, as nations and industries shift from ambition to execution in sustainability strategies in 2026 and beyond, says engineering and architecture firm GIBB. This means moving beyond traditional engineering outcomes toward holistic, people-centred systems. ]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[The South African engineering and construction industry should seek to increase the uptake of refined zinc and zinc coatings, resulting in the reduction of substantial capital costs and financial loss, to refurbish decaying infrastructure and ensure that newly constructed infrastructure is resistant to corrosion, says zinc-focused professional body International Zinc Association (IZA) director Simon Norton. The use of refined zinc has various benefits for the built environment, as it can ensure that steel structures in buildings and infrastructure do not succumb to the adverse impacts of corrosion, which could cause irreparable damage, potentially resulting in loss of human life or near-fatal injuries should extreme structural damage occur.]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[The South African Council for the Architectural Profession (SACAP), which is the statutory oversight authority for the architectural profession in the country, has announced that it will launch its 2025 Amnesty Campaign on Tuesday (April 1). This campaign, which will run until June 30, is intended to help those professionals and candidates whose registration with the Council was cancelled because they did not pay their required annual fees before April 1, 2022. “The amnesty does not extend to individuals deregistered for professional misconduct or ethical breaches,” explained SACAP in its statement. “Those whose registrations were cancelled for misconduct and have outstanding invoices related to the misconduct will need to settle these amounts before applying for amnesty.”]]></description>

There’s also the risk of the decline in vacancy rates being arrested,” notes De Wet.]]></description>
