Question NW653 to the Minister of Transport
29 March 2017 - NW653
Hunsinger, Mr CH to ask the Minister of Transport
With regard to the order by the Grahamstown High Court which ordered the Eastern Cape Department of Roads and Public Works to reimburse farmers who have repaired damaged roads themselves, what plans have been put in place should similar orders be instituted for roads under the ambit of her department or any of its entities?
Reply:
The Department of Roads and Public Works (EC) has received the judgement and is in a process of evaluating its options. The department is still considering the judgement and is seeking legal opinion.
