Lees, Mr RA to ask the Minister of Transport
What are the relevant details of the actual annual expenditure on all roads, including roads that fall under the mandate of the SA National Roads Agency, for each financial year from 2012 to 2021 for expenditure on (a) employees of his department, (b) new road construction and (c) maintenance on existing road infrastructure in the Uthukela district of KwaZulu-Natal?
Reply:
The expenditure on the 183.2 km of national roads which are under SANRAL in the Uthukela District of KwaZulu-Natal is summarised in the table below for each financial year. Please note that the employee cost of SANRAL’s regional office in Kwazulu-Natal has been pro-rated in proportion to the network length in the Uthukela District as SANRAL has no employees at municipal level.
