In the Visionary Client of the Year category,
CESA nominates candidates for the award, who
must then consent to their nomination. Nominees
in this category can be from the public, parastatal
or private sectors, and are judged inter alia on their
contribution to sustainable economic job creation
in South Africa and or Africa. Creating sustainable
development in communities through skills and
knowledge transfer is an equally important factor.
The judges also look at the opportunities provided
for the growth and expression of professionals,
including those from formerly disadvantaged
communities. Projects should also have embraced
innovative designs that highlight the ability of South
Africans in the technological field. CESA this year
gave recognition, in the category of Visionary Client
of the Year to Transnet and its division Transnet
National Ports Authority as well as the Coega
Development Corporation for the Coega IDZ and
its dedicated deep water Port of Ngqura.

In order to promote the Consulting Engineering industry to young professionals, CESA recognises the
contribution young engineers make to the industry and to the future of the profession. Naturally the winner
must be available to receive the award and attend the International Federation of Consulting Engineers
(FIDIC) convention. Furthermore, he or she must be available to serve on CESA’s Young Professional’s
Forum for a 12-month period. Judges look for outstanding performance in areas including technical
achievement on a project; educational achievement; recognition such as awards received; contributions
to sustainable development – such as environmental initiatives, social responsibilities, and community
involvement. And finally, the winner in this category must have leadership ability, and contribute to the
image of the firm and the industry as a whole. Once again, this year the Airports Company South Africa
(ACSA) sponsored the Young Engineer of the Year Award, enabling the winner to attend the FIDIC
convention to be held in Seoul, Korea this year. The winner in the category of Young Engineer of the Year
is Andreas Melusi Ndlovu from ILISO Consulting with Jan Theron from Royal HaskoningDHV receiving
a commendation.
