The MEC for Transport, Community Safety and Liaison Mr Bheki Cele will open
the main road P728 at Umgababa on 15 April 2009. The event will be held at
Mfume, Amazibu High School at 9h00.
P728 serves as a major link between Umgababa and Umbumbulu (R603) through to
Pietermaritzburg and carries a large volume of traffic. The main road P728
falls under three tribal authorities namely: Luthuli, Hlengwa and Mkhize and
serves several schools like Mnini HP, Sdiya LP, Nqalabutho HP, Amazibu HP,
Vumandaba HS and Mfume HP.
Since April 2007 an amount of R44,1 million has been spent in the
construction of this road which is 9,1 km in length. The project benefited the
community as 720 jobs were created over the last two years of its
construction.
âAs a democratically elected government we have an obligation to serve our
people irrespective of which political party they belong to. It is in this
context that we set our selves a goal of achieving a better life for all.
However, a better life will not just float in a foundation less space. It is
based on certain fundamentals and preconditions. Preconditions for a better
life include peace, democracy and development,â said Cele.
