A restructuring is needed because none of the directors is a registered professional civil engineer
There has been much consternation, both in the media and universally throughout the engineering profession, regarding decisions by the SA National Road Agency board affecting big national road projects.
The nearest the current board comes to having appropriate engineering expertise appears to be a member who headed the KwaZulu-Natal roads department during the period when, according to a Council for Scientific & Industrial Research report, provincial roads gained the unenviable reputation of being the worst in the country. This person is not a registered professional civil engineer.
As a comparison with the above, the membership of the immediate predecessor to the Sanral board, the previous SA Roads Board, had five of its eight members as registered professional civil engineers. These five members all individually had extensive experience in civil engineering. This is a standard situation throughout the world where roads boards are used to oversee important road infrastructure.
