The Mbhashe Local Municipality’s Community Services Department recently conducted a two-day refresher training on the National Land Transport Act and the National Road Transport Act. The training concluded with a practical joint operation along the N2 in Dutywa, where officials implemented what they had learned during the theory sessions.
The operation was attended by the Executive Mayor, Dr. Samkelo Janda, who praised the strong cooperation between the Eastern Cape Department of Transport, South African Police Service (SAPS), Provincial Traffic, and Law Enforcement. “I really appreciate the cooperation from the Department of Transport in guiding us, including SAPS, Traffic and Law Enforcement. Your consistency in ensuring compliance with the law has helped stabilize the Mbhashe area. Keep up the good work,” said Dr. Janda.
The Mbhashe Local Municipality is committed to working with all relevant stakeholders to ensure the consistent application of the law and make roads safer for all users. This initiative forms part of the municipality’s broader efforts to enhance road infrastructure and provide reliable services to residents.
In line with this, the municipality has invested millions of rands in village roads, with projects aimed at improving accessibility and connectivity in rural areas. For instance, a 3.6km road regravelling project from Mayosi to Fort Malan villages is underway, which will enhance infrastructure and foster development in the community.
