Guest: Mashao Lawrence Lebea A plan to use the services of 24 Cuban engineers to help address the country’s water infrastructure issues and to share expertise has been criticised by political parties and engineers alike.

The budget for the project, for the current financial year alone, reportedly stands at almost 65 million rand. Opposition parties and local engineers have questioned the move, asking why South Africans are not being used instead.
