Defence industry CEO calls for PPPs to fund SANDF projects

The CEO of the South African Aerospace, Maritime and Defence Industries association, Sandile Ndlovu, has called for the use of public-private partnerships (PPPs) to help fund defence projects in South Africa. Speaking at the African Aerospace and Defence trade show and exhibition, held at Air Force Base Waterkloof in Centurion on September 19, Ndlovu questioned why the South African National Defence Force (SANDF) had not yet considered PPPs to address its financial and equipment challenges.
