The Committee wanted an update on the concerns raised by the Adams mission community regarding Transnet's pipeline construction in the area. The Group Executive: Transnet Capital Projects commented further on issues in KwaZulu- Natal. She noted that the pipeline project extended over 500 km, with another 160 km of 16-inch pipe in the inland regions. This required an enormous amount of social interface. There were over 1 150 pieces of property that Transnet had to acquire, and this also involved dealing with tenants, farmers or croppers.
