Mvoti communities in KwaZulu Natal get four bridges
Public Works and Infrastructure Minister Sihle Zikalala will hand-over four Welisizwe bridges to communities in Makhabeleni in Mvoti, KwaZulu Natal on the 12 March 2024.

Minister Zikalala will also address the community to promote public participation of all communities in government prgrammes.
Members of the media are invited to cover the hand-over of the four Welisizwe bridges.
