The Tshwane metro has already appointed five contractors to execute the programme across regions 1, 2, 3, 4, and 6.
Olievenhoutbosch is one of the high-priority areas in Tshwane that will benefit from the metro’s newly launched Road Resurfacing Programme for the 2024/25 financial year.
MMC for Roads and Transport Tlangi Mogale recently announced the official commencement of this citywide initiative, which is part of Tshwane’s broader road rehabilitation project aimed at restoring and enhancing the integrity and safety of the metro’s road network.
According to Mogale, investing in road rehabilitation is not just about patching potholes; it is about securing long-term value from the city’s infrastructure assets.
“By resurfacing roads now, the city avoids higher future costs, enhances safety for all road users, reduces vehicle operating costs, and ensures smoother and more efficient transport of people,” she stated.
The MMC recently visited Ward 39 in Soshanguve South on May 8 to officially hand over one of the first resurfacing sites.
“We engaged with the contractor on site, assessed the initial phases of implementation, and reaffirmed the city’s commitment to delivering quality road infrastructure that improves mobility, safety, and service delivery in local communities,” she said.
She mentioned that five contractors have been appointed to execute the programme across regions 1, 2, 3, 4, and 6.
“These include areas such as Ga-Rankuwa, Soshanguve, Mabopane, Winterveldt, Hammanskraal, Lynnwood, Mamelodi, and Olievenhoutbosch.
All these areas have been identified as high-priority due to severe road degradation,” she added.
Mogale also noted that, over time, roads deteriorate due to traffic pressure and exposure to the elements.
