Transformation and sustainability are crucial drivers that highlight interventions that TCTA is making to assist the government in alleviating poverty and creating jobs and other economic opportunities. The issue of job creation has become crucial as was stated in both the State of the Nation address by the President of the Republic of South Africa and the Minister for Finance in his Budget speech. All the state-owned enterprises are expected to show their commitment to the above challenge issued by the government.

TCTA keeps track of the remarkable progress it is making to highlight as achievements in its fulfilment of the set targets and objectives. The Authority measures the impact of its work on the external environment in terms of contribution to:

• Socio-Economic Development
• Preferential Procurement; and
• Enterprise Development

These drivers will ensure that TCTA’s brand is known for sustainable and impactful interventions in its project host communities and among the service providers that do business with it.
