Moloto Road and Tshwane North TVET College developments approved

The City of Tshwane is delighted to announce that Council has approved the transfer of key properties to the South African National Roads Agency (SANRAL) and the Tshwane North TVET College.

The City will transfer over 9 ha of land to SANRAL to enable Phase 1 of the Moloto Road Corridor upgrades. These upgrades will cover Moepel Street Overpass across Sefako Makgatho Drive, including roads and interchanges in Eersterust.

This project will be facilitated through a Council-approved Memorandum of Understanding, which has been signed by both parties as a commitment to see the Moloto Road upgrades completed and to facilitate working relations between the two organisations.

With this progressive step, SANRAL will now finalise the next key phases of the Moloto Road Corridor project, which is a crucial development for local communities and commuters who use this road daily.

Moloto Road is infamous for its many road fatalities. As such, the City of Tshwane welcomes upgrades on this key route to Mpumalanga and Limpopo, which will improve safety and help drive economic development between Tshwane and the two provinces.

The City of Tshwane has also approved the transfer of properties to the Tshwane North TVET College at its Atteridgeville, Mamelodi and Kudube Campuses.

The Tshwane North TVET College is set to undertake significant upgrades at its campuses across Tshwane through funding from the Chinese government. In order to commence with the upgrades, the college needed to own each of its campuses, which the City has been happy to facilitate.

“The City is committed to unlocking local economic development through education and training opportunities. I look forward to the next cohort of artisans trained at these campuses to join our local industries and find work opportunities. Through this and other enabling partnerships, we are determined to make Tshwane a city that works for all,” said Cllr Kingsley Wakelin, MMC for Corporate and Shared Services.
