MEC CELE TO OFFICIATE THE OPENING OF THE MULTI-MILLION MAIN ROAD P50/3 AT INKANDLA

THURSDAY 10 NOVEMBER 2005, KWACHWEZI – NKANDLA (OPPOSITE CHWEZI RESTAURANT AND BAR) AT 10 AM

KwaZulu-Natal MEC for Transport, Community Safety and Liaison Mr. Bheki Cele will conduct an official opening of Main Road P 50/3 which has been built at a total cost of R38, 694 million.

The upgrading of P50/3 forms part of a larger road upgrading initiative within Nkandla, under the umbrella of our African Renaissance Roads Upgrading Programme (ARRUP).

The upgrading of roads will provide all weather blacktop access for the district of Nkandla and will draw Nkandla into the mainstream of our provincial economy. The construction of the 17, 5 km stretch of road (P 50/3) has created job opportunities which have contributed in skills development to local people and created huge economic spin-offs.
