Projects still in the feasibility phase include the extension of the Gautrain Rapid Rail network; the acquisition of additional rolling stock for the Gautrain; the construction of the Kopanong Precinct to consolidate the administration function of the Gauteng provincial government, which is currently in 19 buildings in the Johannesburg central business district; the consolidation of the Ekurhuleni municipality’s various service delivery departments into a centralised municipal office precinct; and the development of the De Aar logistics hub.

PPP projects in the procurement phase include, among several others, the development of a science park at the Innovation Hub in Pretoria where entrepreneurs would network and exchange ideas; the installation of tri-generation plants at the Chris Hani Baragwanath Hospital to reduce its dependence on the national electricity grid; and the installation of solar panels on Gauteng provincial government buildings.

However, the review stressed these projects would be subject to the necessary approvals before they were implemented.
