A massive job creation drive will be launched in Durban by Transport Minister S’busiso Ndebele on Monday the 18th of May.

This initiative drive is through the S’hamba Sonke-Moving Together roads infrastructure upgrade and maintenance programme.

Department of Transport’s Sam Monareng says the department has set aside R6.4 billion for the year 2011 and 2012 financial year.

Monareng added that S'hamba Sonke includes a massive potholes patching programme that will be rolled out nationally with effect following the official launch.

A national potholes hotline will also be launched for road users to report potholes in any area around the country. This will assist the programme to arrest the decline of infrastructure while creating thousands of much-needed jobs.
