Road construction – get set, go!

Gauteng MEC for Roads

and Transport, Dr Ismail

Vadi, has launched a R150-

million road rehabilitation

project on the R511 northwest

of Johannesburg.

“The improved road will

facilitate the stimulation

of economic activities

and trigger economic

development between

Gauteng and the North

West province. It will serve

as a catalyst to equalise

the distribution of wealth

in the region as this is an

important freight route,”

said Vadi.

At the sod-turning ceremony to mark the start of

construction last Friday were, from the left, MMC Sheila

Senkubuge, Dr Ismail Vadi, City of Johannesburg councillor

Sam Mashola and a colleague.
