Actually having land will probably make them even poorer in The long run when they can't afford to pay the taxes or maintain it.
The people dont want land. They want Paganis and blue Lambos and houses in Hyde Park. Trillions lost to corruption, but I don't see those thieves buying land, or even spending one cent on 'the community'. They would rather just steal whatever they can, then wait for free land handouts to sell that for more Lambos.
 
That's not how economics works though, producing revenue for the country is in the form of taxes which construction companies pay. The also employ people, the same as any other sector.
GDP also measures exports minus imports, else you're just moving money around in the country. Remember, a lot of the equipment construction uses, is imported. If you have capability to make that equipment, it's moved to the appropriate manufacturing category and hopefully some of the equipment is also exported.

The graph I published shows where their is a shortage of jobs.

If tax is it, we should have been stinking rich. ;)
Not to mention the benefits to a country that has good infrastructure for all other sectors of business, i would actually label the construction industry as one of the most important sectors in any country.

A country that has good infrastructure is also more likely to get increased foreign investment, these things are all interlinked.
Which I don't think anybody will deny. I also put manufacturing there, agriculture too. Mining is very important, but turning raw resources into manufactured goods is a money spinner.
 
No, seriously. Why do you doubt him? What are your suspicions?

Honestly I rely on instinct. And I've never been let down so far. It's one of the reasons why I will often go against the flow

With Mkhwanazi I wonder about his motivation. And timing. And then I wonder who is the shadowy figure lurking behind him
