WBHO-J&E Construction is importing concrete materials for the redevelopment of Manzini’s shopping centre and bus station, despite the local production of prefabricated and cement products, reports the Times of Eswatini. An undercover investigation by the newspaper identified Global Pre… as a supplier of some materials used on the project.
The current phase of the work is being carried out by local company J&E Construction in partnership with South African group WBHO. Stefanutti Stocks, also South African, handled the first phase of the redevelopment. The newspaper’s investigation notes that construction materials are manufactured on a large scale in Eswatini.
