The South African National Roads Agency SOC (Ltd) (SANRAL) notes the judgment by the Constitutional Court and will abide by it.

Over the past two months the roads agency has consistently stated that it is embarking on a new consultative approach with relevant stakeholders to find common ground on challenges that relate to road infrastructure development.

“As reaffirmed by our new CEO, we will continue to engage the City of Cape Town to find a solution to the growing congestion crisis in the Winelands area. Discussions with the City have already started,” says SANRAL’s head of communications, Vusi Mona.

The roads agency is not only pursuing engagements with the Western Cape and City of Cape Town but with other municipalities and provinces such as eThekwini, Gauteng, KwaZulu-Natal and Free State to unlock economic growth potential and contribute to regional development. This is the new perspective within the roads agency which its recently appointed CEO Skhumbuzo Macozoma seeks to ingrain.

“Our constitution requires of us, as the different spheres of government, to work together in order to deliver services to citizens,” says Mona.
