Apart from this, 14 Zibambele Contractors have been employed on this road and a total of 33 Zibambele Contractors are presently working in the bigger Qoloqolo area.

The communities in the area have hailed the project as a success. Previously the road was in an extremely bad condition, especially during the rainy season. It had no gravel wearing course and it was impossible for the communities to move around.
