Narrative

Full Description

Project narrative

In 2013, Palabora Mining Company began the process of restoration for several roads in the Phalaborwa region. First, Palabora rehabilitated Plaston road, which is a 7 km stretch from White River to the N4 highway. The project has continued to expand and entailed the restoration and sealing of 29 identified streets. The major scope of work for the project entailed the rehabilitation of approximately 21 km of Namakgale’s roads. The work included upgrading drain structures such as side drains, underground storm water drains, and subsoil drains as well as the construction of roadside curbs. The amount spent on the rehabilitation of these roads is reported to be in excess of R44 million. It is not clear whether what type of financing was provided.
