Hon House Chairperson, this study tour was a great reason to benefit checks and balances that are inherent in the system of government. This is very similar to what we have here in South Africa in terms of our three different spheres of government. The study tour interacted across all levels of the built environment, maintenance and construction sectors.
Agricultural projects were also visited with the view to replicate the process of the same success of Germany as well as our own embassy in Bonn, Berlin. Sustainable constructed building was a key, equally in this study tour as was the effective and efficiency use of water and electricity in these constructions. Best practices were investigated with the view to implement same homes as in South Africa.
