20 July 2026 – The North West Department of Public Works and Roads has continued to improve road infrastructure in communities through its contribution to the Thuntsha Lerole Accelerated Service Delivery Programme, with road maintenance interventions undertaken on 17 July 2026, in Kgakala Extension 4, Leeudoringstad, near Wolmaranstad.
The North West MEC for Public Works and Roads, Elizabeth Mokua said as part of the department’s service delivery programme, the road maintenance team prepared and processed the base layers for a 200-metre internal road in Kgakala Extension 4, enabling the municipality to proceed with installing block paving bricks. Mokua said the department also bladed 0.3 kilometres of internal access roads in Leeudoringstad and undertook maintenance work on a targeted 2.5kilometre stretch of roads in Kgakala Extensions 7 and 8 to improve accessibility for residents.
“The interventions form part of the department’s ongoing commitment to maintaining a safe and reliable road network that enhances mobility, supports local economic activity and improves access to essential services. The department will continue working with municipalities and other stakeholders to deliver sustainable road infrastructure solutions that improve the daily lives of communities across the North West,” she said.
