Building Apartheid's Legacy: Black Businesses in South Africa's Construction Sector tackles the
complex history and current realities of Black-owned businesses in South Africa's construction
industry. It delves into the legacy of apartheid which systematically excluded Black South
Africans from economic opportunities in construction. The book explores the challenges Black
businesses still face such as limited access to funding contracts and networks. It also
celebrates success stories highlighting the resilience and innovation of Black entrepreneurs
who are breaking down barriers and building a more equitable construction sector. Building
Apartheid's Legacy serves as a call to action urging policymakers and industry leaders to
create a level playing field for Black businesses. By fostering inclusive practices South
Africa can unlock the full potential of its construction sector and build a more just and
prosperous future.
