Transport Minister Sibusiso Ndebele has ordered an investigation into reports of bad workmanship on several newly-built bridges and roads in Limpopo.
It was reported over the weekend that infrastructure in Limpopo, built by SGL Engineering Projects in which Malema has the majority shareholding, had been washed away soon after completion.
Ndebele did not refer directly to Malema in his briefing on the work of Parliament’s infrastructure development cluster.
Ndebele also said provincial governments should replicate the approach of the national government in combating potholes on the road network.
Ndebele says there is no maintenance backlog on the national network as potholes are fixed within 48 hours.
He wants a similar approach at local level.

Speaking of pot holes and 48 hours. On Bucleuch road, between the junction with Maxwell Drive and the old bridge on the way to Midrand there is a section of road which started as a pot hole but is now a total mess. At one time it was "repaired", didn't last long because the method was wrong and the cause was ignored. Now, instead of a simple repair, there is major damage to both sides of the road. This section will most likely need rebuilding. Cause: water seeping in under the tar which needs to be corrected even before repairs are started, most likely including a deviation. More cogestion, more road rage, more damaged tyres in new holes. Try driving on this road in peak times!!!
