According to ward councillor, Elton-Enrique Jansen, unknown men visited the Sesami Bridge Lentegeur/New Woodlands construction site on 23 February 2023 at about 15:50pm and threatened the contractor not to return to the site.

‘’We will not accept this kind of thuggery that will jeopardize much needed projects in our community which is important for the safety of our residents. We have alerted SAPS and our Law Enforcement agencies who will be monitoring this site very closely.’’

The Sesami bridge will connect the Lentegeur and the New Woodlands Community – upon completion of the bridge, pedestrians can safely cross the railway.

The Contractor resumed work on site this past Monday
