Public Works and Infrastructure Deputy Minster Sihle Zikalala will on the 07th of November address the 2nd Built Environment Climate Change Indaba (BECCI) which will be held in Mandeni, KwaZulu Natal.

The two-day conference which will be held on the 07th and 08th of November, is around building a climate-resilient Built Environment for South Africa while acknowledging and incorporating the Indigenous Knowledge Systems (IKS) in the entire construction lifecycle and processes and legislations of national, provincial and local government.

The recent adverse weather conditions in parts of the country including Kwa Zulu Natal have led to massive infrastructure damage costing billions of rands. Hundreds of lives have unfortunately also been lost with many communities displaced by the floods and mudslides.

The BECCI is a direct response to these pressing climate challenges and will bring together stakeholders from the Engineering and the Built Environment sector, Disaster Management and the South African Weather Service.
