Abstract
The CI is an important industry to the development of any country (Umeokafor, 2018: 473; Ofor, 2012: 5; Idrus et al., 2011: 1142). Just to highlight the significance of CI, according to Kayumba (2013: 34), Kumar and Bansal (2013: 34) and Ofori (2012: 5), amongst other functions performed by the CI is to construct the infrastructure and physical structures. CI is a driver of both physical, structural, social and economic developments (Pillay and Haupt, 2016: 374; Idrus, 2011: 1142; Windapo and Cattell, 2013: 65; Kayumba, 2013: 510). CI is deemed critical for economic advancements of South Africa through infrastructure delivery and job creation (Pillay and Haupt, 2016: 374; Windapo and Cattell, 2012: 65). In other words, CI is an enabler in the pursuit of nation vision and aspirations because of its ability to provide infrastructure such as roads, buildings and stadiums and hence, the creation of employment. Conversely, poorly performing CI can affect other industries.
