ActionSA is disappointed to learn that only R50 million of the R250 million budget that was on Gauteng Province’s construction procurement plan for this financial year has been allocated to the Rooihuiskraal Off-Ramp project for pre-tender activities, and that the project has been further delayed by 3 months due to “prolonged approval processes and statutory clearances required by the City of Tshwane”.

The advertisement of the tender is now scheduled for Quarter 4 of 2025/2026 and funding for the construction phase will be prioritized in the 2026/2027 financial year, which starts on 1 April 2026.

ActionSA will be requesting a detailed breakdown of the R40 million cost incurred during the design process that was completed on 3 September 2025, as well as supporting evidence.

ActionSA has also asked Gauteng MEC Transport and Logistics, Kedibone Diale-Tlabela why the R250 million was not ring-fenced for the construction of this project this financial year, as she stated in her response to questions posed by ActionSA Gauteng Member of Provincial Legislature (MPL) Emma More on 21 June 2025, but no response has been forthcoming.

The Rooihuiskraal Off-Ramp project was initiated in the 2023/2024 financial year but never completed. ActionSA will continue to follow the money, to ensure that every cent is accounted for, and that officials in local and provincial government are held accountable for delays that occur.
