CORE CHALLENGES FACING DC25 Challenge facing the Dept. • To address issues of equity and economic growth. • To address past neglect inherited from the past legacy. • To use road infrastructure as a catalyst for unlocking development potential of communities.
CORE CHALLENGES FACING DC25 • 85% of Provincial Budget is for the Provincial Departments of Health, Education and Welfare. • Transport gets 4% of Provincial Budget which is insufficient, and we are competing with 7 other Provincial Departments for a greater share of the 15%. • The demand for more and better roads in rural areas for exceeds the available funds.
CORE CHALLENGES FACING DC25 • Availability of plant to Emerging contractors/Vukuzakhe Contractors. • Non Availability of quality material to maintain existing gravel roads and construction of new gravel roads. • Flood damages adds to the backlog. • Access roads to schools, health facilities, still a challenge to the District.
POSSIBLE SOLUTIONS • MEC to motivate for more funding from National Gov. and Prov. Gov in order to catch up with the maintenance backlog. • DOT will have to revamp its prioritization proccesess in addressing the backlog facing the department and approach the local municipalities in this regard. • Vukuzakhe to form Joint ventures and approach financial institutions for purchasing and hire of plant • Investigations to be carried out in order to preserve our existing gravel with innovative additives to prolong the gravel life cycle. • Social Services needs to be funded by other departments as well for a speedy services delivery i.e. IDP, other Government departments • Set up new consultative forums in line with war room model
WayForward • Rolling out of current and planned work for new financial year according to scheduled dates. • Planning to be designed with IDP and Sukuma Sakhe members focussing on customer needs, uniformity of reports and better working relations. • Working together in keeping all stakeholders informed of progress made and challenges encountered. 17
