Service delivery projects progress well
Three major project sites were visited by an inspection team.
The Infrastructure and Human Settlements Portfolio Committee is pleased with the progress made at three of Umdoni’s service delivery project sites which they visited as part of a recent inspection tour.
The committee was led by its chairperson, councillor Phila Thabethe and their first visit was to the Dlangezwa Community Hall project in ward 18 under Councillor Nokulunga Nzama.
Councillors inspected the multi-million rand community hall which is now at an 80% completion stage.
The hall is expected to accommodate approximately 500 people, and it also consists of two offices, a kitchen, ablution facilities, water storage tanks and will be electrified.
The team then went to ward 16, under Umdoni speaker and ward councillor Mbali Cele-Luthuli, where they saw progress being made on the infamous Gumede Bridge.
“The bridge is at a 45% completion rate and its completion is set to bring major relief to residents who currently use unfavourable alternative routes during inclement weather,” said Umdoni communications manager, Sphelele Cele.
Lastly, Mthobisi Mbutho Road in Ward 17 under Cllr Nonhlanhla Nkomo was visited which is now 75% complete.
This is a 2.2km road being upgraded to blacktop and will simultaneously receive proper cosmetic upgrades in line with the standard of tarmac upgrades.
Approximately 60 temporal job opportunities have been created through these three projects and chairperson Cllr Thabethe stated that these projects are expected to reach completion by the end of the year.
