Bath-loaros. The money will get there. By the time the money has been used, I will have learnt to pronounce the word properly! So, it is Bathloaros to Maphinik - 26 kilometres for R7 million; road maintenance between Victoria West and Calvinia, 387 kilometres for R18 million; and the reseal of Douglas to Kimberley, 18 kilometres for R22 million.
In terms of the Western Cape there is the: Overberg regravelling at R43 million; Malmesbury to Hopefield reseal for R51 million; and the De Rust to N9 reseal for R54 million. Regarding the Eastern Cape: household contractor programme of approximately R200 million over three years; and emerging contractor and consultant development for R500 million over three years. In KwaZulu-Natal there is the Nongoma-Dabhazi-Hlambanyathi-Hlabisa- Corridor at R270 million - it is a Greenfield project; and the Eshowe- Ntumeni-Kranskop-Vryheid Corridor at R2 billion.
South Africa's road network comprises 750 000 kilometres, 593 000 kilometres of which is gravel network managed by provinces, metros and municipalities. One hundred and fifty-four thousand kilometres is paved and managed across all spheres, and 140 000 kilometres of the network is still to be proclaimed. It is a worry for the Department of Transport that we have 140 000 kilometres that are fatherless and motherless.
Most of our road network has reached its design lifespan, hence failure to budget for road maintenance would, in time, cost the country more in the replacement and rebuilding of the network.
In addition to the projects listed, the department will continue with our national roads upgrade programme. The following are prioritised projects that will be implemented in the current year: Mpophoni in Port St Johns at a cost of R27 million and 289 jobs will be created; Matheko River Road construction at a cost of R36 million and 163 jobs will be created; and the N1/N2 Winelands Project at a cost of R10 billion and 1 150 jobs will be created.
On the issue of the Decade of Action for Road Safety, on 11 May 2011 South Africa participated in the launch of the United Nations Decade of Action for Road Safety 2011 to 2020. The Decade of Action programme seeks to reduce by 50% the number of road deaths and reduce the carnage on our roads. At least 1,3 million people are killed annually on the world's roads, and 14 000 perish on South African roads every year. Road deaths affect all of us.
Worldwide, as in South Africa, the Decade of Action for Road Safety commits us to developing and enforcing legislation on key risk factors, such as effective managing and monitoring of speed limits; eliminating drunk driving; and increasing the use of seat belts, child restraints and motorcycle helmets.
Our response to this global call is contained in our multipronged programme, involving all citizens, which seeks to end road deaths. I will ask the Deputy Minister to continue elaborating on this very critical programme.
With regard to the Road Traffic Management Corporation, the RTMC, road safety and traffic management are, according to our Constitution, national, provincial and local government competencies. This results in an absence of uniformity in traffic law enforcement. It was with this in mind that the Road Traffic Management Corporation Act was passed by this Parliament in 1999. The Road Safety Management Corporation, in terms of section 3 of the Road Traffic Management Corporation Act, Act 20 of 1999, was then established. This establishes a legal entity chaired by the Minister of Transport, with provinces and municipalities as shareholders.
Putting the RTMC in order has been one of the urgent tasks facing the transport sector. Currently, an acting CEO has been appointed to lead the corporation to ensure that the mandate is delivered. We have stabilised the RTMC, and the organisation is now positioned to lead our efforts to end road deaths and to create a safe road environment in South Africa and the region.
With regard to the maritime programme, the implementation of the maritime transport policy, which will address coastal shipping between our country and our neighbours, is a priority. Effectively, this seeks to increase regional trade through the integration of activities. Furthermore, in line with government objectives of skills development within the maritime sector, a skills development programme for young people will be introduced, in line with the various maritime activities.
South Africa does not own its own vessels. In fact, we import transportation costs. The need for South Africa to build up its ship register will provide an opportunity for new entrants to enter this sector, effectively transforming the sector from its current status. We know that almost 98% of our goods come by sea, so it is quite strange that we do not have a single ship registered in South Africa.
In civil aviation, the review and improvement of the tariff determination framework will continue so as to ensure effective service delivery within the aviation sector. Airport infrastructure in provinces will be supported, with the objective of ensuring the provision of adequate and effective infrastructure to promote air traffic transportation of both passengers and goods.
Current bilateral agreements that seek to increase tourism will be reviewed to ensure that the intervention plans being indicated will effectively achieve this. A further activity that we will engage in is the promotion, training and development of pilots emanating from the previously disadvantaged sector who will then be employed by SA Airways.
Finally, as indicated in the delivery agreement for Outcome 6: An efficient, competitive and responsive economic infrastructure network, the following outcomes are part of the delivery by the department: increase the market share of total freight to rail to an annualised 250 million tons from the current 178 million tons by 2014; benchmark the cost of building and maintaining roads to assess our efficiency and develop an appropriate funding model; reduce road accidents and fatalities from 14 000 by 2014, a 5% per annum reduction; ring-fence road maintenance funds, including the construction and maintenance of rural roads.
