Completed Xhalanga Paving Project Handed Over to the Community

Today marks an important milestone in infrastructure development, demonstrating the dedication and commitment of the Emalahleni Local Municipality Council to improving the lives of residents, as the completed Xhalanga Paving Project was officially handed over to the community.

The handover was led by the Mayor, Councillor Nontombizanele Koni, accompanied by the Portfolio Head of Infrastructure Development and Human Settlements, Councillor Tandeka Kulashe, Ward 16 Councillor Nkohla Peter, Municipal Administration, the Project Steering Committee, and members of the community.

This stage of the project is vital as it provides an opportunity for all stakeholders to inspect and evaluate the work completed on site, and to identify any minor issues that may still require attention. A period of fourteen days has been provided for the correction of such issues before the final completion certificate is issued.

During the site visit, Mayor Councillor Nontombizanele Koni acknowledged the importance of community participation in the process, especially as members of the community and the Project Steering Committee highlighted areas of concern. Both the contractor and the consultant committed to addressing the identified issues with urgency.
