Question NW75 to the Minister of Public Works and Infrastructure
21 February 2023 - NW75
Seitlholo, Mr IS to ask the Minister of Public Works and Infrastructure
Whether, given the news that the Gauteng provincial government will compensate two families whose children died in a quarry in the Skierlik Mountain View informal settlement in Mamelodi, her department also compensated the two families who lost two children in a similar manner in Lebotlwane village in the Moretele Local Municipality; if not, why not; if so, what are the relevant details?

The Minister of Public Works and Infrastructure:
The Department of Public Works and Infrastructure has assessed Parliamentary Question 75 and had since established that both incidences referred to in the questions, fall outside the National Department of Public Works’ purview therefore, our colleagues in the Provincial Department of Roads and Public Works in Gauteng and North West Provinces will be best suited to response to this question. It will be advisable to re-refer the question to the relevant MECs, accordingly.
