The completed project will bring much relief to communities within the Mohlaletse villages.

The Fetakgomo Tubatse Local Municipality (FTLM) continues to improve access and mobility in rural areas.

The Magakala Access Road and Bridge Project will soon be handed to the communities.

The FTLM’s mayor, Eddie Maila, visited the site on May 29 for inspection before its official handover.

This project in the FTLM’s Ward 39 (Mohlaletsi) is 100% complete. Maila commended the community for working with the municipality and the contractors to ensure that the project is implemented without major hindrances.

Before the construction of this road, it was difficult for the community to access essential services such as schools and clinics due to the harsh conditions of the gravel road. Access was especially limited during rainy season as there was no bridge to cross the river.

Maila and his team took a walkabout on the four kilometre stretch of the road to assess its condition. He said the completed project will bring much relief to the Magakala community in terms of safer roads and accessibility.

Nthabi Tladi, a community member, thanked the mayor and the municipality for implementing the road project, as it was difficult for the residents to conduct their daily business. She said the road is going to change their lives forever.

After visiting the Magakala access road, Maila also conducted another inspection at Debeila-Mohlaletsi road.

This inspection was done to give the mayor an insight on the challenges raised by the community and other stakeholders on the development of the road project.

Maila indicated that the road’s completion is long overdue and all the remaining issues must be addressed, so it could be handed over to the community.
