Khuma – North West Premier Lazarus Kagiso Mokgosi has committed to repairing the
delapidated internal road in Khuma near Stilfontein, which prohibits school children to attend
schools and residents to do their daily errands during rainy season.
Premier Mokgosi, who was accompanied by the Executive Mayors of Dr Kenneth Kaunda
District Municipality, Cllr Nikiwe Num and City of Matlosana Local Municipality, Cllr Fikile
Mahlope, was handing over the Phase 1 of a newly constructed two-kilometre paved road and
storm water project in Khuma Ext. 32 & 39.
The handover was part of the Accelerated Service Delivery Programme – Thuntsa Lerole
Phase 5 in City of Matlosana Local Municipality. Residents of Khuma Township expressed
their gratitude as government officially handed over the paved road and storm water project
saying it has given their area the necessary facelift.
Premier Mokgosi indicated that even though residents are delighted about the completed road,
the problematic section which was not part of Phase 1, must be constructed soonest.
“We appreciate the completion of the paved road; however, we have not included in the
project the road which gets waterlocked during the rainy season. Through the City of
Matlosana there will be re-allocation of resources and proper planning so that we resolve this
matter permanently” remarked Premier Mokgosi.
Residents further expressed their delight that a problematic area will now receive attention.
The project forms part of government’s ongoing efforts to resolve service delivery backlogs in
various communities across the province through the Accelerated Service Delivery
Programme-Thuntsha Lerole.
