Engineers & Society

Surely @ProudlySA must have laws setting minimum engineering safety standards for our freeways. 🛣️ Separating opposing lanes saves lives, this should come long before dreams of bullet trains. It’s time to prioritise engineering‑led safety. @Dotransport @SANRAL_za #Safety 👇

Engineers amplify civil society. Civil society champions engineering leadership. #BuildBetter #EngineeringForSociety #ChangingThingsSA

When Engineers do well and politicians stay out of the way, things work and the whole nation is inspired! @Eskom_SA is gonna be alright cc @Kgosientsho_R @mteton

We always welcome it when engineers are invited into the media space. Thank you, @eNCA @MasegoRahlaga #TheSouthAfricanMorning #DStv403

#CountryDuty BREAKING NEWS: The ConCourt has ruled that directives issued by the South African Human Rights Commission (SAHRC) ARE NOT BINDING

The ConCourt confirms: @SAHRCommission directives are not binding. Infrastructure delivery needs enforceable technical authority. Our call remains: establish an Engineer‑General with binding powers to fix the infrastructure ecosystem. #EngineersForServiceDelivery #Accountability

Progress begins with action. You can’t fault our attempt to fix the country and the continent. — @changingthingsS #EngineeringChange #ImplementationMatters #EngineersForServiceDelivery #NationBuilding

I have a friend, who is like a younger brother to me. A genius Chartered Accountant who was once a CFO of a municipality some years ago. They tried to make him do wrong things like bo Mnisi, mainly his political principals. When he refused to sign off dodgy deals, they sent people to beat him up, fortunately he survived, created all kinds of charges against him, suspended him, and during one of those periods he was suspended, he studied law, got his LLB, left government forever. He is a practing Advocate, specializing in Corporate Law, Tax Law, he's just a hell of a genius. Moral of the story? They always say municipalities are collapsing because they don't have capacity and skilled people. Those with skills are either corrupted, if they refuse to be corrupted, they are killed, or they are lost to the private sector. Sad state of affairs we have in this country. #MadlangaCommission

Engineering isn’t only the expertise that is benefiting Eskom, it shows in various national, provincial departments and municipalities with clean Auditor‑General audits. There’s something essential about having multi-disciplinary team that we haven’t yet convinced decision‑makers to fully appreciate.

@Manthi__ @SedikoR @MyJRA @DadaMorero @Kenny_T_Kunene @CityofJoburgZA @ECSAOfficial Engineering expertise isn’t only benefiting Eskom, it shows in the Western Cape and municipalities with clean Auditor‑General audits. There’s something essential about engineering we haven’t yet convinced decision‑makers to fully appreciate. #engineers @PresidencyZA @GovernmentZA

@SedikoR @ChangingthingsS @MyJRA @DadaMorero @Kenny_T_Kunene @CityofJoburgZA @ECSAOfficial Eskom only turned around because Engineers are at the helm. Enterprises that are highly technical require technical people as decision makers

"Engineers study engineering to build & maintain affordable, quality roads. The @MyJRA Board should have a majority of ECSA‑registered professional engineering practitioners. Infrastructure decisions are too technical for boards without engineering expertise. #Ch9EngineerGeneral

@SedikoR @Manthi__ @MyJRA @DadaMorero @Kenny_T_Kunene @CityofJoburgZA @ECSAOfficial Governance alone won’t fix technical problems. SAA’s operations involve aircraft, systems, safety & maintenance, engineering expertise at board level is essential, not optional. #Aviation #EngineeringLeadership #EngMustRise

@Manthi__ @ChangingthingsS @MyJRA @DadaMorero @Kenny_T_Kunene @CityofJoburgZA @ECSAOfficial The Chair of the SAA Board is not an Engineer

@ChangingthingsS @MyJRA @DadaMorero @Kenny_T_Kunene @CityofJoburgZA @ECSAOfficial We need to fight for our rightful positions as Engineers. This cadre deployment must be challenged head-on.

@SAHRCommission Service delivery depends on engineering. It’s the profession that translates human and socio‑economic rights into lived reality, if engineers are empowered to serve and accountable when infrastructure fails. The Report must say this clearly. #Engineers #Ch9EngineerGeneral

Media Advisory: The South African Human Rights commission to release an Inquiry Report into the State of Service delivery at Local Government Level in the Northern Cape Province sahrc.org.za/index.php/sahr…

@JosMolefe @ParliamentofRSA must act & establish a #Ch9EngineerGeneral. @SAHRCommission has already reported on road failures infringing human rights in the Eastern Cape. Without an EG, the SAHRC should commission a nationwide report on the state of infrastructure. x.com/i/status/20462…

@thwitha7 @SihleLonzi @KhandaniM @ParliamentofRSA @PresidencyZA Political parties must enable engineers to practise freely. Political, legal, financial & HR interference drives unemployment and failing infrastructure. #Engineers #CityEngineers #Ch9EngineerGeneral

@SihleLonzi @KhandaniM @ParliamentofRSA @PresidencyZA @ChangingthingsS This was my point of concern.

Young Professionals, Teachers, Doctors, Engineers, Lawyers, Accountants etc. have to pay membership fees to professional bodies like SACE, HPCSA, LPC, ECSA and SAICA, even when they are UNEMPLOYED. The EFF is demanding parliamentary intervention to STOP this unjust practice!

@SihleLonzi @ParliamentofRSA @PresidencyZA Political parties must enable engineers to practise freely. Political, legal, financial & HR interference drives unemployment and failing infrastructure. #Engineers #CityEngineers #Ch9EngineerGeneral

Engineers study engineering to lead and manage critical functions such as waste management. Effective collaboration between engineering and politics requires greater understanding and training on @ECSAOfficial’s identification of engineering work. @imesa_za @SALGA_Gov

Politicians provide political will, engineers provide delivery. This partnership is critical to achieving quality service delivery, underscoring the indispensable role of engineers. #LesothoHighlandsWaterProject Phase II

@Lebohang5214 @MyJRA @DadaMorero @Kenny_T_Kunene @CityofJoburgZA @ECSAOfficial Political will without engineering expertise delivers little. Collaboration between politicians & engineers is critical for quality service delivery and lasting electoral support. The role of engineers in this partnership cannot be overstated. #AgendaForEngineering @ECSAOfficial

@ChangingthingsS @MyJRA @DadaMorero @Kenny_T_Kunene @CityofJoburgZA @ECSAOfficial Meetings with politicians on technical matters is pointless...we found ourselves having to explain the difference between a road reserve and a road surface, difference between sidewalk and pavement layers, what a sewer servitude is: We left mostly having done absolutely nothing.
