The 2026/27 draft budget materials described multi-year capital programmes including R3bn for wastewater treatment works upgrades and expansion, R1.7bn for water-loss prevention and pipe replacement, R2.4bn for electricity infrastructure, R2.3bn for low-cost housing infrastructure, R1.1bn for public transport and R1.4bn for road rehabilitation and construction.
These figures describe programme-scale planning across a medium-term period. They are not single contract values, and the draft statement does not identify one contractor or one procurement package for each line.
The adopted MTREF should be consulted for final annual allocations and project schedules. Individual opportunities become bid-ready when the responsible authority publishes a procurement notice.
What it means
Suppliers and residents should read programme totals as a map of priorities, then follow tender notices and award records for the actual packages. Civic Ledger links those stages where a public record exists.
