Businesswoman Shauwn Mkhize on construction mafias
Shauwn Mkhize recently spoke about her stance on construction mafias. The construction mogul said she disagrees with the term and would rather call them construction forums, saying they are in need of opportunities.
Mkhize said these businesses are mostly looking for work as construction and often require people with experience.
"As much as there are construction mafias, it is very important to collaborate. I have been in the industry for more than two decades, with the construction mafia involved," Mkhize said, adding that it is a cry for help to them.
"You just need to sit down with them, understand what they need, and collaborate with them. All they need is experience."
The clip was shared on X by @Bathandwa95.
Mzansi roasts Shauwn Mkhize
Netizens chimed in on Shauwn Mkhize's sentiments, with people agreeing with her while others were totally against this. This is what peeps said:
@Ms_Elljay corrected:
"If you have ever been in construction, you would understand what she is saying. Most times, what is termed 'construction mafias' are just local SMMEs wanting to be included and wanting to get work."
@RayMaboya argued:
"But I think you guys are committed to misunderstanding her... all the time. She clearly says she's collaborated with business forums to find a way forward, and that's how she's managed to complete her projects. And she's right, the requirements are impossible to meet without progressive collaborations. You'll forever be dealing with protests if you don't engage the local community. We've become so used to the term construction mafias that we actually forget that there are local business forums that need work in their local infrastructure projects."
@Sinelizwi_ exclaimed:
"Sana, you collaborate with extortionists, and you call them 'business forums'!"
@Ndlombango asked:
"Collaborate with criminals?"
