The Ministry of Transport and Infrastructure implements spot improvements on critical sections of the road network that have been identified as requiring urgent attention.

Answering a question in Parliament, the Minister of Transport and Infrastructure, Mr Noah Salakae said the roads include Jwaneng-Maokane, Tsoanyane-Lefoko, Mokhomma Junction-Samane, Mokhomma-Thankane, Kanaku-Mabutsane, Sekoma-Mahotshwane and Mahotshwane-A2 Junction road.

However, Mr Salakae said the ministry had not been able to maintain the quarterly grading schedule in the Mabutsane District due to the breakdown of grader.

He said as an interim measure, the ministry has collaborated with the Mabutsane District Council to assist with the grading of the affected roads, while efforts were underway to secure funds to restore grader to operational condition.

“The collaboration is intended to ensure that the roads remain passable and serviceable pending the ministry’s equipment,” he said.

He was responding to a question from Jwaneng/Mabutsane MP, Mr Omphemetse Kwapa, who wanted to know plans in place to ensure that the aforementioned roads in the Jwaneng/Mabutsane constituency were maintained as they had been damaged by rain and had remained in that state for long.ENDS
