Leaving many people to speculate that the price of the R5m bridge was inflated. The gravel bridge allows access between the two villages of Humulani and Majeje. Ba-Phalaborwa Municipality posted pictures of the opening ceremony on the official Facebook page of the municipality. Community members commented with disbelief on the post, saying the price of the bridge was inflated, and by December, it would be washed away.
The DA in the province stated that Mayor Merriam Malatj prematurely handed over the bridge without conducting a high-risk assessment. The party said the bridge is too low to allow for water to flow without obstruction during the rainy season and will result in flooding. “The bridge is also not tarred to protect the structure, and safety barriers are not high or strong enough to prevent vehicles from plunging into the river.
BPM spokesperson, Jonas Mahesu, told the Herald that there is nothing wrong with the bridge and that BPM’s technical team gave the go-ahead for the mayor to open it to the public. He said the cost of the bridge was calculated by consulting engineers and not BPM.
