Abstract: South Africa is an economic powerhouse in Africa. Information and communication projects have subsequently been embraced to facilitate future economic growth. The authors empirically analyze information and communication project management in South Africa. This research revealed that there is less focus on traditional project management success as more emphasis has been placed on project product success. Moreover, project outcome is more dependent on "soft" skills than on "technical" skills. Project management in South Africa seems to be in an idle state; thus more work needs to be done to improve the current state of project management.
