Gauteng Roads repairs over 470 streetlights


The Gauteng Roads and Transport Department says it has repaired more than 470 streetlights across the province.

The repairs form part of an initiative aimed at improving road safety, infrastructure and crime prevention.

Department spokesperson Lesiba Mpya says the next phase of the programme will focus on the Fourways area, including Cedar Road, Witkoppen Road, Malibongwe Drive and Winnie Mandela Drive.

Mpya says, “The department has also signed a memorandum of understanding with the City of Tshwane to conduct repairs and assist with streetlights along provincial roads in the greater regions of Tshwane. This is to ensure that Gauteng motorists and residents feel safe when driving along the provincial network.”

The department says the programme will continue in other areas as part of efforts to improve visibility and safety on provincial roads.
