The Eastern Cape MEC for Transport, Safety and Liaison, Xolile Nqatha, with the Political Oversight Committee (POC) of the N2 Wild Coast Road (N2WCR) project, has concluded a two-day oversight visit to the venture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

N2WCR POC members, including the MEC for Public Works and Infrastructure, executive mayor of OR Tambo District Municipality, mayors of Ingquza Hill, Winnie Madikizela-Mandela and Port St Johns local municipalities, SANRAL board members, and the SANRAL CEO, accompanied MEC Nqatha on a two-day programme that took place from Thursday, July 13 to Friday, July 14, in Lusikisiki.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The three-pronged programme entailed a debrief session where the POC presented a report on its oversight work at an engagement session at the Lusikisiki Resource Centre. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This was followed by a visit to the Msikaba Bridge construction site to assess progress being made on the project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The third leg of the programme entailed an engagement session with local key stakeholders, including affected traditional leadership, women in business, business forums and N2WCR Project Liaison Committee (PLC) members.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe are assessing progress made since our last visit in October 2022. When we met stakeholders, there were many issues raised by traditional leaders and the local business fraternity. Today I\u2019m happy with the progress we\u2019ve seen in addressing those concerns. I\u2019ve forwarded the report to the premier of the province. I\u2019m excited with the progress made,\u201d said Nqatha.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n
I am thankful for the role played by the SANRAL Board, the technical team and management under the leadership of the CEO. Msikaba Bridge is a state-of-the-art bridge. We are confident that the whole country and continent will be envious. This part of the country will never be the same due to the socio-economic benefits of this project. Jobs have been created, locals have been trained in skills they did not have before. And a concerted effort has been made for localisation, in some instances going beyond the 30 percent minimum subcontracting requirement.<\/div>\n
Eastern Cape MEC for Transport, Safety and Liaison, Xolile Nqatha,<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

There are also legacy projects in the pipeline, including the access roads that SANRAL is constructing in the area to improve access to amenities, and the living conditions of local communities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SANRAL board chair, Themba Mhambi, said that it was SANRAL\u2019s intention to deliver world-class road infrastructure to the people of the Eastern Cape, and to ensure a significant portion of the economic benefits derived during the road construction be directed to SMMEs within the affected local and district municipalities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Alluding to the integral role of a consultative and inter-governmental approach to the N2WCR road infrastructure development, Nqatha said, \u201cIt is clear there is no substitute for consultation and social facilitation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis is the route to go to ensure the smooth running of the project. We can learn from the Mtentu Bridge stoppage, which had a budget of R1.6-billion in 2019 but is now costing an already constrained government fiscal R4-billion after being re-tendered.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nqatha said that it was \u201ca lesson for us as leaders and communities that there is no reason to stop projects when we have concerns. It is important that we bring our concerns to the table, because all of us want this bridge and all of us want roads. We can discuss our grievances but work must continue, so that we are not affected by cost escalations and unnecessary delays, which are costly to the very communities, because work stoppage causes loss of income.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe social facilitation work of the POC is important to the success of the N2 Wild Coast project; let\u2019s continue to work together to successfully complete the project,\u201d said SANRAL CEO, Reginald Demana.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Stakeholders appreciated the interventions made thus far to resolve some of their grievances.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The mayor of Ingquza Hill Local Municipality, Councillor Nonkosi Pepping, urged the stakeholders to ensure that their prerequisite paperwork was in order to enable participation in the N2WCR project. \u201cYou must also play your part by being compliant so as to be able to benefit from this development,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe are committed to realising significant participation by designated groups and targeted enterprises in all our projects, in line with government\u2019s black economic empowerment policy,\u201d said Chairperson Mhambi, adding that transformation is a top priority for the SANRAL Board.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cFour billion rand of the N2 Wild Coast Road project has been set aside for the local community through sub-contracting, job opportunities, and skills development training.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lwandile Gcume, of the Wild Coast Business Forum, said that the local business fraternity appreciated the project\u2019s impact \u201cparticularly in this unfavourable economic climate. We also urge for political intervention to address the potential delay that could be caused by the Amadiba group insisting on an alternative route.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sigqibo Notshaya from the Ingquza Hill Business Chamber welcomed the economic injection made by SANRAL into the Wild Coast economy and imparted advice to the local community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI want to urge for peace among the people of Pondololand to unite to ensure the successful implementation of this project. It is all in our hands,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The stakeholders rallied behind the project and have expressed appreciation of the beneficiation realised thus far.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nkosi Sonwabile Jama of KwaKhanyayo Village in Flagstaff, where the Mtentu Bridge is being constructed, cautioned locals from interrupting the project. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cLet us ensure that any differences we have are resolved via dialogue,\u201d he said. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe are happy now that the Mtentu Bridge contract has resumed and with participation of the local SMMEs and community.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
