# Consulting Engineers South Africa has warned that the proposed Office of the Engineer-General could add unnecessary bureaucracy and costs without solving South Africa’s infrastructure woes. CESA CEO Chris Campbell has questioned its effectiveness and capacity to bring meaningful change. Campbell highlights issues including corruption, vandalism, and skill shortages as key obstacles. He has urged the government to prioritise professionalisation, consequence management, and skills development within the public sector, rather than creating another oversight body with limited practical impact.
