The Emalahleni Local Municipality’s ongoing road resealing programme continues to improve key roads in communities including Kwa-Guqa, Ackerville, Ga-Nala and the eMalahleni CBD.

Matthew Phosa Road, one of the busiest routes in Kwa-Guqa, has already benefited from the maintenance drive and has been transformed into a smoother, more comfortable driving surface.

Beaty Street in central eMalahleni is also among the roads receiving attention.
