The Minister of Public Works and Transport Lindiwe Dlamini, on Thursday, toured Ludzeludze constituency’s road infrastructure.This was part of the ongoing Tinkhundla tours by the Minister,whereby she and officials from the Ministry get to have a firsthand experience of the roads at constituency level.
During the tour the Minister highlighted that part of the Ministry’s mandate is to upgrade, construct and maintain the national road network that will stimulate economic development in the rural areas. Amongst the areas that were visited by the Minister and her delegation include; Sibuyeni, Mdlangwe, Vusweni and as well as Ekudzeni where most of the roads need regravelling and bridges that links to schools and clinics at Ludzeludze. Minister Dlamini expressed concern that many homesteads and fields were situated close to the roads and hence block the drainage systems, thus damaging the road in the process. She further pleaded with community leaders to address this predicament.
The Minister’s delegation during the tour included the Ministry’s Principal Secretary Makhosini Mndawe, Acting Chief Roads Engineer Vincent Dlamini, Mantainence Engineer Linda Magagula and other personnel from the Roads Department.
