GUEST - Mosha Senyolo - President of the Association of South African Quantity Surveyors (ASAQS)
The construction mafia has become so entrenched in South Africa that the risk of organised crime is increasingly factored into project contracts – suggesting that these criminal activities are a legitimate part of doing business. To restore the rule of law and revitalise the construction industry, the Association of South African Quantity Surveyors (ASAQS) is calling for collaborative action between built environment professional associations and SAPS to combat these criminal extortion rings.
