Deputy Speaker, the ANC acknowledges that 58% of South Africa's roads are gravel roads and that 70% of existing roads require urgent repair. Thus, the latest initiative to improve road infrastructure in the North West province over the next six months must be welcomed. An amount of R280 million is to be spent on road construction projects over the next 18 months, and the roads prioritised for rehabilitation are the Coligny to Klerksdorp and Rustenburg to Thabazimbi. Even more promising is that these projects will not only be giving local contractors an opportunity to participate, but will also create about 600 jobs. The second phase of the Madidi Access Road Community Development Initiative Project will commence next year to rehabilitate another five kilometres and add storm-water drainage in the village. I thank you, Deputy Speaker. [Applause.]
