The MEC for public works, roads and transport, Thulasizwe Thomo, said the completion of the road is at an advanced stage.
The project to upgrade the Dludluma D2950 road from gravel to tar is progressing well. The upgrade, which falls within the Nkomazi Local Municipality, spans from the D797 to the Dludluma ring road.
The Mpumalanga MEC for public works, roads and transport, Thulasizwe Thomo, conducted an oversight visit on July 4 and expressed satisfaction with the work completed thus far. Thomo met with community representatives at the Dludluma community hall on September 27, 2024, where he introduced the appointed contractor and participated in a ceremonial sod-turning.
The R113m tender was awarded to Sibusisiwe Construction, a locally based company. Once complete, the D2950 will serve as a key access route for essential services and function as the main bus route for local commuters.
The road is expected to greatly improve mobility and provide better access to economic and public service opportunities. Thomo said the community had long awaited the upgrade and that the department remains committed to ensuring timely and successful delivery.
“We commend the project team for their dedication, professionalism and hard work in advancing this upgrade,” he said.
The Dludluma community is hopeful that the improved infrastructure will enhance connectivity and unlock new prospects for development.
