Simone Dickson, Consultant in the Corporate & Commercial practice, appeared on eNCA to discuss women in the tech industry. In South Africa, fewer than a quarter of tech jobs are held by women. Simone points out that the tech industry remains predominantly male-dominated. Earlier this year, the World Economic Forum published a gender gap report, revealing that while women make up just over 49% of roles in the general workplace, they account for only 29% in the tech industry.

Unlocking South Africa’s infrastructure development and investment opportunities: Amendments to the PPP regulations

The reformation of the South African public procurement legislative framework is expected to have a direct impact on construction and infrastructure projects, particularly those that are public-private partnerships (PPPs). PPPs are commonly used by the public sector to benefit from the financial resources, expertise and skills of the private sector to improve its services and develop infrastructure. A PPP is a contract between a public sector institution and a private party, where the private party performs a function usually provided by the public sector.
