APEL – The Limpopo government has promised to resume a tarred road project that had been halted in 2016.
The MEC for the Limpopo Department of Public Works, Roads and Infrastructure, Namane Dickson Masemola, recently visited the Roka Mashabela and the Magadimeng Ntweng traditional authorities to announce the resumption of this tarred road project.
According to Road Agency Limpopo (RAL) CEO, Gabriel Maluleke, the project RAL/T866/2016, which entailed upgrading the gravel road, was halted in 2016 due to the communities’ dissatisfaction with the previous contractor.
The 19,7-kilometre road estimated to cost R66 million, is expected to begin immediately and be completed in November.
The road intersects various villages between Ga-Mashabela and Magadimane in the Fetakgomo Tubatse Local Municipality.
Masemola said, “I have the hope that if we work together and share ideas, this time around the project will be a success.”
TMG Radebe Trading was introduced as the new contractor. The company is expected to work with
local SMMEs and labourers around the affected communities to complete the project succesfully.
