JOYCE MASEABATA NAMA
Summary
I am a candidate Civil Engineer (ECSA), having completed my degree at the University of the Witwatersrand in 2021. After graduation, I began freelancing in the design of water, sanitation, and structural projects. I later joined the Polihali Dam Project under Lilibara Projects (Design team) and the Lesotho Highlands Development Authority (Client); a major infrastructure initiative aimed at supplying water to South Africa. I am an ambitious and results-driven engineer with experience spanning roads and stormwater systems, structural design, and water infrastructure. My role in the Polihali Project involves active participation in various design phases. I am currently involved in the resettlement phase, which includes the design of houses, roads, stormwater systems, and water supply infrastructure for new villages being established for communities affected by the project.
