# Public Works and Infrastructure minister Dean Macpherson has written to all national ministers allowing departments facing leasing challenges through the Property Management Trading Entity, to request limited powers under section 18 of Government Immovable Asset Management Act. The move aims to address delays, disputes and inflated lease costs that affect service delivery. He says the reform will strengthen oversight, reduce the state’s six-billion-rand annual leasing bill, stabilise the Property Management Trading Entity, and support the creation of the South African National Property Company.
