MEC BHEKI CELE TO CONDUCT SOD-TURNING CEREMONY IN EMSELENI (KWAMHLABUYALINGANA)

KwaZulu-Natal MEC for Transport, Community Safety and Liaison Mr Bheki Cele will conduct a sod-turning ceremony of the Sibaya Lake Bridge in Emseleni tomorrow the 27th September 2005.

The sod-turning of the bridge came after the community of Emseleni especially the learners from the local schools experienced difficulties of crossing to the other side of the river making life so impossible to cross to the shops and other areas. Due to these difficulties, learners as well as teachers are forced to cross the river on foot. After the completion of the bridge communities from across the river will be linked to social, cultural and economic gatherings.

Since KwaZulu-Natal commenced building pedestrian bridges at river crossing some five years ago there has been a demand for such structures from numerous communities.
