Moreover, he emphasised that to speed up service delivery, through efforts by the Mayoral Office, the Ladysmith Municipality was able to hand over the two vehicles, which will be used in ensuring the rehabilitation process is a success.
“Our intention is to provide well-accessible roads, and at this point, we felt the need for this kind of machinery to accomplish our duty of providing safe and quality roads. These two yellow plants will be used in carrying out projects of road maintenance, as well as stormwater management within the municipality,” stated Cllr Sibis, who further added that the government entity believed its residents had the right to quality roads.
