Question NW2322 to the Minister of Public Works and Infrastructure
17 July 2023 - NW2322
Zondo, Mr S S to ask the Minister of Public Works and Infrastructure
Considering that since 2018 communities have been protesting annually over the lack of completion of road projects, as is the case in the town of Senwabarwana in Limpopo, and noting that his department took no steps to address the specified matter, citing reasons that seem to change each year, what update will be given by his department on the work done in fixing the road in Senwabarwana since last year?

The Minister of Public Works and Infrastructure:
The matter regarding the lack of completion of road project in the town of Senwabarwana in Limpopo, is a provincial matter. The project is managed by the Road Agency Limpopo (RAL), which is solely owned by the Limpopo Provincial Government. The Limpopo Provincial government is the shareholder of RAL and the MEC of the Department of Public Works, Roads and Infrastructure, is appointed as its shareholder representative. Therefore, PQ 2322 should be referred to the MEC of the Department of Public Works, Roads and Infrastructure.
