The unpacking of a Strategic Integrated Project
Speaking at the third Sustainable Infrastructure Development Symposium in Cape Town on 19 March 2024, President Cyril Ramaphosa stated that investment in infrastructure is central to the achievement of South Africa’s development goals. President Ramaphosa highlighted some initiatives which seek to address this, including the amendment of the Division of Revenue Act 5 of 2023 to enable provincial governments to use their infrastructure grants and budget allocations to crowd-in private sector finance for large social infrastructure programmes, as well as amendments to the public-private partnership regulations. Of specific importance to South Africa’s development goals is the implementation of Strategic Integrated Projects (SIPs) which aims to minimise the red tape associated with projects that are of social or economic importance to SouthAfrica.

Employee vs Independent Contractor vs TES
The test for determining who is an employee and who is an independent contractor differs with reference to persons who earns above or below the threshold in terms of s6(3) of the Basic Conditions of Employment Act 75 of 1997 (BCEA). An independent contractor, unlike TES employees, is not an employee either of the client or the TES. Independent contractors render services for a fee, whereas a TES provides labour to a client for reward. Ultimately the test is always substance over form and the nature of the agreement is not definitive.
