EMFULENI ROAD RESURFACING REACHES VEREENIGING AREA

MMC Public Works conducts an oversight visit in Waldrift

Emfuleni Local Municipality (ELM) acting Member of the Mayoral Committee for Public Works, Cllr. Hassan Mako conducted an unexpected oversight visit at Beril Road and part of Andesite Avenue in Waldrift, where the Municipality was hard at work milling and resurfacing the roadways. 

The visit took place on Tuesday, 23 May 2023. The road resurfacing work forms part of the road resealing program which covers damaged roads across the municipality. An amount of R20 million has been reserved for this program. Mako said, “The roadwork in Waldrift is part of a comprehensive programme that will deal with the challenges of providing good quality road infrastructure in Emfuleni”.

Before work started on Beril Road, Mako had an opportunity to attend a meeting called by Ward 16 Councillor, Cllr. Madoda Mkhumbeni, wherein the community raised their frustrations. The run-down state of Beril Road and the connecting Andesite Avenue formed part of the discussions which were followed by a thorough inspection of the road. 

“Beril and Andesite serve as the main roads that connect parts of Waldrift, seeing them in the condition they were, riddled with potholes and outright impractical to road users during my last visit was just unfortunate. Today, change has come to the community of Waldrift, and I am fully satisfied with the work done in a space of 24 hours since construction started”, Mako said.
