Building a Legacy
There is something to be said for leaving a legacy. Building something that will then be used for generations to come. Helping create tangible assets that are useful and sustainable. Guiding people along a path and instituting bridges over the obstacles they might face.
With the right people and the right partners, we can create a legacy plan for South Africa. A tangible plan, built from roads, bridges, renewable energy, healthcare, communication, water and waste-related assets.
