President Cyril Ramaphosa said while the state is significantly increasing its capital

"That is why you are here, and that is why we want to mobilise all available capital, both domestic and international, towards this incredible infrastructure boom that is [beckoning]," said Ramaphosa.
Ramaphosa spoke at the Sustainable Infrastructure Development Symposium South Africa in Cape Town on Tuesday.
It also marked the launch of the next version of the Construction Book, which includes over 250 projects exceeding R238 billion.
