Rudolf Fourie, CEO of Raubex Group, said: "The group has shown its resilience over the past year and its
ability to navigate through tough industry conditions and unforeseen challenges the likes of the Covid-19
pandemic.

"South Africa's Economic Reconstruction and Recovery Plan, which includes a substantial infrastructure
build programme, is encouraging and we look forward to the roll out of this plan which will bring relief to
the construction industry and create much needed jobs.

"We are further encouraged by the good recovery that was made by the group in the second half of the
year, a significant increase in tender activity and some major construction contracts that were awarded to
the group.

"With the secured order book now at a record level, the group's strong management team, supported by
a healthy balance sheet, position Raubex well for future growth."
