New R20m road for Ga-Monyeki Village

LEPHALALE - Lephalale Mayor Jack Maeko launched a R20-million road upgrade project on 2 December in Ga-Monyeki village. The six months project will create around 40 jobs and will improve access to Ga-Monyeki village.
This is the third road to be upgraded in villages this financial year as part of Lephalale Local Municipality’s (LLM) commitment towards rural development in the area. Upgrading roads will ensure greater accessibility to remote areas of the Municipality. At Ga-Monyeki the community will soon have easy access to the grave yard as requested.
The Mayor encouraged the community to support the appointed contractor to ensure the timeous completion of the project. He also urged the local youth to submit their CVs for capturing on the municipal skills database. The database assists stakeholders like Eskom and local mining companies to prioritize the employment of local residents. This is part of the Municipality’s mission of creating jobs and delivering quality services to the community of Lephalale.
The municipality is further partnering with stakeholders such as Exxaro and the Road Agency Limpopo (RAL) to ensure that roads in rural village are upgraded. RAL, Exxaro and LLM recently signed an agreement to reconstruct 47,6km of road that service around 18 000 people in rural areas that covers three wards in Lephalale. This project is already underway as part of the Municipality’s vision to ensure Rural upliftment.
