Vodacom South Africa has teamed up with the Johannesburg Roads Agency in a crucial partnership aimed at maintaining operational traffic signals during load shedding.
The initial phase of this partnership will see Vodacom providing backup power to traffic lights at specific intersections near its campus in Midrand, including 13th Road and Vodacom Boulevard , and Lever Road.According to Sitho Mdlalose, CEO of Vodacom South Africa, this partnership emphasises the importance of business and government working together to tackle societal challenges.
Adding, “JRA is delighted with the formalisation of this partnership with Vodacom which will help ease loadshedding traffic congestion along surrounding routes and bring relief to road users of between 2000 and 3000 vehicles travelling in both directions on Lever Road during morning and afternoon peak hours.”Technically the partnership involves a JRA redesign of the signal wiring at the intersections in question.
Mdlalose also added that discussions are being had with Eskom in resolving the issue stating; “We are also engaged in discussion with Eskom to explore how we can on-board more IPPs on the grid through a virtual wheeling platform.”Member of the Mayoral Committee for Transport, Councillor Kenny Kunene, praises the formalization of the SLA between JRA and Vodacom South Africa.
