Having taken note of reports that SANRAL has cancelled adjudicated projects to the value of R17.4 billion, the Minister of Transport, Mr Fikile Mbalula will join a media briefing convened by SANRAL to clarify the matter.

“I have asked the board of SANRAL through its Chairperson, Mr Mhambi, to take the country into confidence on this matter and outline quick turn-around to avoid unnecessary delays to catalytic projects.

We are mindful that these are key infrastructure projects that are instrumental to enabling economic recovery in the construction sector,” said Minister Mbalula.

Minister Mbalula will join the Board of SANRAL at a planned media briefing on Monday, 23 May 2022 where detailed information on this matter will be provided.

At this briefing, the Minister will also outline plans in respect of other catalytic projects the department is implementing to improve transport infrastructure and contribute to economic reconstruction and recovery.
