R3,8 million park set to transform redundant land
The project is expected to employ 12 people for the cleaning and fencing and is expected to employ 30 people to do construction work.
Upon visiting one of the township’s vacant lands in Sibongile, it is clear that the council are creating jobs in order to grow the township economy.
The council has embarked on the revitalisation and improvement of the redundant public space. The Sibongile Community Green Park is situated along Ziga Sithole Street. According to the Manager for Endumeni Local Economic Development, Thulani Ndlovu, the project has two spheres of operation.
“The first element of the project focuses on site cleaning, fencing, development and landscaping of the park,” Mr Ndlovu said, “there will also be an outdoor gym with equipment.”
The project is expected to employ 12 people for the cleaning and fencing and is expected to employ 30 people to do construction work.
Six people for operations and maintenance have been employed.
The project is expected to be completed next year and with a budget of R3,8 million.
