 
MEDIA ALERT
DEVELOPMENT INVADES OBUKAKwaZulu- Natal MEC for Transport, Mr S'bu Ndebele will perform the sod-turning ceremony for Main Road 253 and Imfule Bridge at Obuka near Empangeni tomorrow (Tuesday), 2 December 2003 at 10h00. This road infrastructure project will play a pivotal role to both our African Renaissance Roads Upgrading Programme (ARRUP) and our Tale of four Cities Programme in contributing towards reversing the spatial inequalities that we have inherited from apartheid governments. This project also highlights the KZN Transport Department's commitment to putting an end to physical and economic isolation and will develop important transport corridors for the surrounding areas of Obuka, Entembeni and Yanguye thereby enabling these communities to lead a better life. Since 2001, as part of the KZN Transport Department's Rural Development Programme, road infrastructure projects totalling more than R10 million have been put in place in this area. This has resulted in much needed development for this community which has contributed significantly to reducing the levels of poverty and creating many other opportunities to improve their living standards. All media are invited to attend. Please note picture opportunities.
