PREMIER NDLOVU TO LAUNCH A MASSIVE ROAD MAINTENANCE PROGRAMME IN BELFAST


05 October 2024

The Mpumalanga Premier, Mr. Mandla Ndlovu will launch a massive road maintenance intervention programme, known as 'Kubhunya Lutfuli', at Emakhazeni Local Municipality. The Provincial-wide programme will focus on the acceleration of road maintenance to improve access, through the integration of resources at Provincial and Local Government levels.

Mpumalanga is strategically located between two neighbouring countries, namely: Mozambique and the Kingdom of eSwatini. The road infrastructure plays an important role by linking the province and the two countries, and is used to transport massive goods as part of trade relations. It is also a key factor for the Maputo Corridor, which makes the export of goods from South Africa to other countries, easier through the Maputo harbour.

The launch of the roads maintenance programme is viewed as a vital component for the realization of the priorities of the 7th Administration, such as to drive inclusive growth and job creation.

October is Transport Month in South Africa, and in Mpumalanga, the official launch took place on Thursday, 3rd of October 2024 in Emakhazeni Local Municipality, led by MEC for Public Works, Roads and Transport, Mr Thulasizwe Thomo and MEC Jacky Macie of Community Safety, Security and Liaison.
