NIC ORGANOGRAM

With all the exciting changes the Organogram has been revised again -

Please note there will still be changes in the following months and it will be revised accordingly.

CONGRATS - Kusile Project

NIC Construction spent well over a year, put in a tremendous amount of effort and hours Tendering and Negotiating on the Kusile Power Station Project!

Thankfully all this effort was rewarded when we were advised that the contract was ours!

On the 23^rd of November 2011 Danie Erasmus and Johan Pienaar signed the contract (see attached photo), sealing a deal that would forever change the future of NIC.

The attached document is one page out of the contract showing the value at the time of signing as R463 Million.

From November to now, the value of this contract has increased and is currently over R 500 Million (Five Hundred Million Rand) due to additional orders received!!

Well Done to the NIC Construction Team specifically RUAN KELLERMAN, ANDRIES SENEKAL and the compelling team of Directors DANIE ERASMUS and JOHAN PIENAAR (PINE).
