"The industry as a whole has been affected by the Botswanan Government's reluctance to put more work into the public domain, whether in the form of short to medium projects or long term tenders. There is very little private sector work going on and even when a tender does arise, there are so many companies going for it that realistically it is very difficult to win that project." But there is a potential light at the end of the tunnel as Mr Stow goes on to explain: "Of course every industry has lean spells, but it is how you cope with the lack of work that defines you as a company.

Taking stock Africa Outlook profiles Stefanutti Stocks Swaziland, a standalone subsidiary of Stefanutti Stocks, one of South Africa's leading construction groups. Writer Susan Miller Project manager Stuart Shirra Pinning Derek Du Plessis, Managing Director of Stefanutti Stocks Swaziland, down for an interview is pretty hard but we eventually got to chat on a Sunday morning as he travelled to a meeting. And it's no wonder he's time poor as he's also one of the senior directors in charge of Stefanutti Stocks Zambia. While Stefanutti Stocks Swaziland is a standalone subsidiary of Stefanutti Stocks South Africa it is supported by the larger company when needed. And the strong relationship only strengthens Stefanutti Stocks Swaziland as Stefanutti Stocks South Africa prides itself on "creating a support and project infrastructure in the harshest environments and the recruitment and up-skilling of local communities" and has established a presence in significant number of African countries and now the Middle East. But it was Swaziland that was its first 'international' destination in the late 1980s and, after Stafanutti Stocks (then S&B) completed a palace 'to compete with anything in James Bond films' for King Mswatti III, it opened offices in the Kingdom. Mr Du Plessis prides himself on the company's multi-disciplinary approach and ability to complete a range of different tasks in the engineering and construction fields. Its importance is merely underlined by its impressive portfolio of projects – including involvement in the construction of the Sikhuphe International Airport which is set to replace Matsapha Airport and is due to open in…
