Roads Agency Limpopo (RAL) held a productive stakeholder engage-
ment and fundraising session with the local business and mining sec-
tor in Sekhukhune District Municipality on Friday, 16 February 2018.
During the engagement session at Lapeng Lodge adjacent to
Road D737 near Burgersfort, connecting the R37 and Steelpoort,
RAL had identified four opportunities for potential or future strategic
partnerships, estimated at just over R1,12 thousand million based
on preliminary technical assessment, as it steams ahead to address
1173km of roads backlog in Sekhukhune District.
The total road network (in Sekhukhune) currently sits at 2654km.
Last week Limpopo Public Works, Roads and Infrastructure MEC
Nandi Ndalane officiated at a sod turning ceremony for a R316
million road infrastructure project connecting two municipalities and
commercial centres. The project will run over a period of 36 months.
The purpose of the project is to upgrade from gravel to tar and also
rehabilitate sections of the road.
The targeted roads for strategic private sector partnerships are
roads D4220 at the evaluated cost of R600 million, Steel Bridge
at the intersection of D2219 and R555 (R81m), D737 (R40m) and
D4180 (R400m).
Presenting RAL’s current partnerships in Sekhukhune, and the
strategic partnerships overview of Limpopo Province since 2015,
Chief Executive Maselaganye Matji emphasised on the success of its
Public Private Partnership (PPP) approach. “Our private sector part-
ners have confidence in the way we do business,” Mr Matji said.
“Every little amount contributes, we want you to be part of the
solution to our country, our province and to our local municipality.
We must work as a collective to change how the area where we live
looks,” he said at the Lapeng meeting.
He says since 2015, with the financial support of private sector
partners, more especially the mines in Sekhukhune area, RAL has
spent R2,85 million on 22 projects in Sekhukhune, “which is higher
than other districts because of the massive backlog in the area.”
In 2015, the then new RAL Board and Executive management
of the Agency led by the Board Chair, Matome Ralebipi and CEO
Maselaganye Matji, adopted a strategic Partnership approach as part
of the successful turnaround strategy for the Agency that was just
returned from administration.
Through this approach, RAL is targeting to create partnerships
with the private sector relevant or benefiting from the Limpopo Pro-
vincial road infrastructure network to help augment its constrained
budgetary and financial resources for the construction, rehabilitation
and maintenance of Limpopo roads.
At current estimates, RAL will need R160 thousand million to main-
tain and upgrade the entire road network in Limpopo, and it currently

gets under a thousand million rand from the provincial treasury. The
road asset portfolio of RAL measures in the extent of 20 260 kilo-
metres of which only 5 974 km is tarred and the balance of 14 286km
is gravel or dirt roads.
“We are trying our best with limited resources to address the infra-
structure delivery in the province,” says Mr Matji.
This partnership includes both RAL and the private sector co-fund-
ing key economically strategic road infrastructure projects in the
Limpopo Province.
Since adopting this strategic partnership approach, RAL has raised
R382 million and continues to secure more partnerships. R100 million
is the amount targeted for the current financial year.
Councillor Stan Ramaila, the Executive Mayor of the Sekhukhune
District Municipality, in his keynote address described the district as
“rich poor” as it has thirteen (13) mines operating in the area, yet 51%
of the people of Sekhukhune - the home of chrome - are unemployd.
He urged the mining community and the private sector at large to
work together to assist communities.
RAL says when the agency build roads, it uses road infrastruc-
ture delivery to create jobs and hire local Small Medium and Micro
Enterprises (SMMEs) in areas affected by implementation of its road
construction projects, with 30% and 10% respectively of contract
value ring fenced for local SMMEs and local labourers.
The stakeholder engagement and fundraising session in Sekhukhune, which comes hot on the heels of
RAL’s successful participation at the recent Investing in African Mining Indaba, was targeting four economic
roads:
1. The upgrading of 24km of road D4220 from Modimolle to Tjate to Phahlamohlaka to Manoge to Masehleng.
“The economic benefits of upgrading the road from gravel to tar are massive. It will also make sure the mu-
nicipality will benefit from tourism as roads are veins of the economy,” Mr Matji said about this road.
2. The single lane Steel Bridge at intersection of D2219 and R555 will be transformed into a “new safe
bridge,” according to Mr Matji.
During the consultation session of 16 February 2018, five mines in the area have pledged to work with RAL
on this project, and other two will include it in their next Social Labour Plan (SLP) consultations with the
community.
3. On the rehabilitation of 17km of D737 from Steelpoort to Lapeng Lodge, described as an economic road
and a bypass, Mr Matji said rehabilitation work has started and there will be further updates on progress.
4. Upgrading from gravel to tar of R17,6km of road D4180, a parallel road to R37, from Ga-Sealane to Ga-Se-
lepe to Atok Mine to R37.
Anglo American Platinum has contributed R57 m towards phase 1 of the project (up to Ga-Mongatane), and
RAL will continue with the other stretch of the road (Ga-Mongatane/Ga-Mashabela to Atok Mine).

The National Budget made easier

Minister launches
https://vulekamali.gov.za/
The Vulekamali portal, launched by Finance Minister Malusi Gigaba on Tuesday, will make
information on the Budget more accessible to ordinary South Africans.
The online portal presents information in a simplified format and shows members of the
public how public resources are generated and used.
The Minister launched the portal during a media briefing at the Imbizo Centre in Cape
Town on Tuesday, a day before he is expected to table the Budget Speech in Parliament.
“We would seek to continue making National Treasury accessible to the broader sections
of South African society. That it doesn’t belong among the elite only, but it must be accessible
The SAPS Limpopo Provincial Commissioner Lt Gen Nneke Ledwaba has fingered to the ordinary South Africans so that they are able to make their inputs, not only in influenc-

managed to escape leaving their two cars behind which were then burnt to ashes.
It is alleged that the deceased was driving one of these cars with his two accom-
plices and the other two unknown suspects driving a VVT Toyota were on the way to
Ga-Mokgotho village to commit a business robbery, the local community got informa-
tion before the crime could be committed and attacked them.
The deceased is a 29-year-old man from ga-Mashamothane village near Burg-

accomplices who fled are unknown.
A case of murder and two counts of malicious damage to property were opened.
The suspects involved in this said matter are unknown and there is no arrest as yet.
The police investigations are still continuing.
Anyone with information which can lead to the arrest of the suspects involved in

this phenomenon, are going to be dealt with mercilessly and without compromise,
concluded General Ledwaba.

A new president and increased
South Africa went through a series of rapid
developments since last week Wednesday.
During a late night address to the nation,
President Jacob Zuma resigned.
Since then a new president, Cyril Rama-
phosa has been elected and sworn into
office. He delivered his State of the Nation
Address (SONA) the next day and Parliament
kicked into action with debates around it.
On Wednesday this week, the previously
postponed Budget Speech was delivered by
Finance Minister Malusi Gigaba.
The focus of the budget fell on rebuilding
and restoring growth and confidence in chal-
lenging times. Gigaba described the budget
as “tough but hopeful”. One of the main
changes that the public will have to deal with
is the increase of VAT from 14% to 15% as of
1 April 2018. This is the first time that VAT is
increased since 1993.
The budget deals with various issues
including the much talked about free higher
education. A total of R324 thousand mil-
lion is being budgeted for higher education
and training over the next three years. This
includes R57 thousand million for free higher
education and training. Basic education will
also get a boost with R35 thousand million
being budgeted for infrastructure develop-
ment and R15,3 thousand million for learner
and teacher support materials.
More than R528 thousand million will
also be spend on social grants. The budget
also took a look at things such as subsidized
public housing, water infrastructure and
services and supporting affordable public
transport amongst others. Social grants will
be increased by around 7%.
Platinum Gazette asked readers their
thoughts on the new dispensation in the
country, as well as their reaction to the VAT
increase expected from 1 April 2018.
Ms Lerato Mohlabini said: “Everything will be
fine now that he is president. I live in Ga-Ma-
noke and they only bring us water when
there is a funeral. We only get water when
someone passed away. We hope now that
Ramaphosa is our president they will fix the

Mr Otto Mashaba and Mr Kabelo Mahlake said: “He is a good candidate to have become

dent. We don’t think it is a bad thing that they are increasing VAT but then they must improve

said: “The VAT increase is quite ridiculous.

Mr Elmon Maeyane said: “I’m supporting

He unites people. He is not afraid to interact

Ms Sandra Mavota said: “I think he will

our new president can make it work. There
should be free education for all young peo-
ple, regardless of their background, black or

important. I support Cyril Ramaphosa as our
new president”.
