Who gets to build South Africa’s hospitals, roads, and schools? And what happens when contractors fake their credentials to win those lucrative public projects? This week on Inside Your Business, we unpack the CIDB’s clampdown on fraud in the construction sector, after more than 40 companies were kicked off the national contractors’ register for falsifying documents, lying about past work, and inflating their grading to qualify for tenders worth millions. CIDB CEO Bongani Dladla explains how the board is enforcing a zero-tolerance approach, because inflated grading doesn’t just break the rules, it puts taxpayers’ money, safety and service delivery at risk.
