The future of Limpopo's healthcare infrastructure continues to take shape within the Peter Mokaba Precinct in Polokwane, as the Limpopo Academic Hospital development advances steadily through its construction programme.
On Friday, 22 May 2026, Enza Construction hosted a high-level delegation at the project site as part of its ongoing stakeholder engagement programme. The delegation was led by the MEC for Health, Ms Dieketseng Mashego, representing the Honourable Premier, and was accompanied by the Executive Mayor of Polokwane Municipality, Cllr Makoro John Mpe, the Executive Mayor of Capricorn District Municipality, Cllr Mamedupi Teffo, the leadership of the Development Bank of Southern Africa (DBSA), and the Principal Agent team.
The site visit provided the delegation with a comprehensive overview of construction progress achieved since the sod-turning ceremony held in July 2023. The project team presented the key works packages completed to date, including substructure and superstructure progress, services installation, and the sequencing of the remaining works programme. The engagement further afforded principals an opportunity to assess on-site health and safety performance, quality assurance protocols, and the coordinated delivery model underpinning this complex healthcare facility.
Speaking during the walkabout, Executive Mayor Mpe acknowledged the catalytic socio-economic impact of the development on the local construction value chain and broader regional economy.
"We are particularly encouraged by the massive economic spin-offs associated with this development, including the creation of approximately 2,400 jobs during the construction phase and over 1,000 permanent jobs once the hospital is completed and fully operational. This is the kind of infrastructure-led development that changes lives and strengthens local economies. Indeed, history reminds us that we stood here on Tuesday, 18 July 2023, to turn the sod for this project. Three years later, we return to witness visible progress and tangible delivery." — Executive Mayor Cllr Makoro John Mpe
The visit reaffirmed the strength of the collaboration between the client body, funders, the professional team and the contractor, a partnership that continues to underpin programme certainty and quality delivery on this landmark project.
As works progress towards practical completion, Enza Construction remains committed to delivering social infrastructure of enduring quality; infrastructure that will enable the provision of advanced healthcare services, support local enterprise development and contribute meaningfully to the transformation of the built environment in Limpopo because we believe in Building Communities.
