The Minister of Transport, Mr Joe Maswanganyi, will visit, the R573 - Moloto development corridor, as part of monitoring progress in the implementation of the first phase of the development of the corridor. The Moloto corridor development is part of the Presidential nodal project.
The Moloto Road has become synonymous with road crashes, bus accidents, injuries and deaths. It has robbed communities of breadwinners, beloved mothers and children.
The start of this project to upgrade the R573 is a clear demonstration of how government has listened to the views and concerns of residents and communities and has taken actions to respond to the issues that have been raised.
Government responded to presentations made by communities during regular interactions and through traditional leaders and elected representatives in local, district and the provincial spheres of government.
The Minister will be joined by the Traditional Leaders of the affected Municipalities, MEC’s for Transport and Public Works from Mpumalanga, Gauteng and Limpopo, SANRAL, PRASA, and the DOT Public Transport Division.
