While many celebrated the intervention by government, some, including opposition parties, branded the move electioneering by the ANC ahead of polls next year.
A R1.3 billion South African National Road Agency Limited road project cash injection to the Waterberg region has been branded an “election gimmick” by opposition parties and some citizens in Limpopo.Last week, the agency’s big guns took to the Modimolle local municipality on a stakeholder-led engagement session, aimed at sharing vital information regarding Sanral’s planned road network projects worth more than R1 billion.
“This is shocking and irresponsible by the ANC in Limpopo,” said Mogotji. “What is more perplexing is that during the tenure of DA mayor van Starden, who passed away two months ago – may her soul rest in eternal peace – there was nothing done to fix roads in that municipality.“But soon after her death, R1.3 billion flagship projects are announced. What is even more mind-boggling is that the projects are announced a few months before the 2024 general elections.
