The KwaZulu-Natal provincial government needs R6.5 billion to rebuild roads and bridges damaged by floods in April. However, MEC for Transport Peggy Nkonyeni, says the province has not yet received the requested funds from national government. KZNFloods

“Some roads are really, really dilapidated so it could even take more than six months to reconstruct some of the roads. Like for instance your N2 road, when we engaged with SANRAL they did inform us that it might take even a year to reconstruct that N2. Then we conducted assessments we submitted to the National Disaster Management Centre. According to our calculations, we need that kind of money in order for us to reconstruct our roads.

Premier Zikalala says government will put measures in place to ensure that contractors deliver value for money and that the project is completed on time. “We are very happy because when I came to live in this area, I was puzzled as why this road is gravel and full of dust while in other areas, they have tar roads. But today I am very happy that this road will be tarred, and cars will now drive in a nice road and less vehicle repairs for the owners.”

Nope they stole it all.

That money is in some farm owned by some politician. Ey ngoba futhi nina!!

With the amount of corruption!! Mayb government is making sure it does disappear under a bed 🤭😂

You want to loot those funds. The reason why you have not received those funds it's because you have not done what you are supposed to do

Oh mean that has already been made the National government by the statement of the MEC?

Are they not going to do a geotech study first to see if those bridges can hold in the event of another flood?
