It is heartening to note that construction is expected to resume soon as SANRAL has finalized the bidding process. Provided there are no additional delays, we hope the project will be completed by the end of 2025 or early 2026. https://t.co/pXKIaNH3Bt — PolitiTweet.org

Communities have a rightful expectation that when their areas are the sites of large-scale economic projects, whether it is road construction or mining, that they should benefit from them. Nothing about us, without us. https://t.co/pAcM8pY7uC — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
I want to congratulate the national Department of Transport as led by Minister @MbalulaFikile, SANRAL and the contractors for ensuring that matters around community participation were dealt with sensitively. #N2WildCoast #BuildingANewEconomy https://t.co/pAcM8pY7uC — PolitiTweet.org

62% of the total work force on this site are locals. Of the 329 employed, 156 are employed by the main contractor, and 173 by sub-contractors. https://t.co/pAcM8pY7uC — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
It is pleasing to note that here at Msikaba, the community participation goal for targeted labour set by SANRAL was exceeded at the end of July, with it reaching 37% against 32% of work completed. https://t.co/pAcM8pY7uC — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
We know that this project has not been without its challenges. Construction had to be halted at the Mtentu bridge site because of concerns by communities that they were not being properly included in the development. https://t.co/pAcM8pY7uC — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
Over the past year alone SANRAL has created 17 760 job opportunities at its various projects around the country. This is part of a government-wide effort to create jobs in our economy. https://t.co/pAcM8pY7uC — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
Once the road is completed, ongoing maintenance work is anticipated to create another 900 direct, full-time jobs and around 19 000 indirect jobs. https://t.co/pAcM8pGwD4 — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
This translates to a wage bill of around R750 million. Both skilled and semi-skilled people have already been employed on this project. — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
There is the job creation benefit. Work on the N2 Wild Coast Project will lead to the creation of 8,000 direct full-time jobs and between 21,000 and 28,000 indirect jobs during the construction phase. https://t.co/pAcM8pY7uC — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
By regulating that a minimum of 30 per cent of expenditure is earmarked for targeted enterprise sub-contractors and suppliers, approximately R4bn will in future flow to SMMEs from the OR Tambo and Alfred Nzo Districts. https://t.co/pAcM8pY7uC — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
Already some R120 million has gone to local SMMEs as part of upgrading and linking of roads, and there are several more projects in the pipeline. #N2WildCoast https://t.co/qWHxGXcUoT — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
There is the socio-economic and enterprise development benefits. Approximately R4-billion will be spent on targeted enterprises during the construction period. This will ensure that the investment on this project will be ploughed back to communities. https://t.co/pAcM8pY7uC — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
With the coming into operation of the Africa Continental Free Trade Area in January this year, I can certainly see this project playing a key role in the movement of goods and services to a continental market. #AfCFTA #N2WildCoast #BuildingANewEconomy https://t.co/pAcM8pY7uC — PolitiTweet.org

It will create a trade corridor running along the Indian Ocean coastline from Cape Town through to Gqeberha, to East London, to Durban, and to Ermelo in Mpumalanga. #N2WildCoast #BuildingANewEconomy https://t.co/pAcM8pY7uC — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
There is the benefit to the provincial and national economy. This highway will support the transportation of goods and services to the entire Southern African region. #N2WildCoast #BuildingANewEconomy https://t.co/pAcM8pY7uC — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
Mobility is a major challenge for our people in the province especially rural communities. This highway will narrow travelling distances and time, and it will also be safer. There is the benefit to tourism from both inside and outside the province. https://t.co/pAcM8pY7uC — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
What is most beneficial about massive infrastructure projects such as this one, is that the yields are sustained over a prolonged period. There is the benefit to communities. https://t.co/pAcM8pY7uC — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
A number of the mass infrastructure projects we outlined in the Economic Reconstruction and Recovery Plan have commenced. This has contributed to business and investor confidence. #N2WildCoast #BuildingANewEconomy https://t.co/pAcM8pY7uC — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
When we announced the Economic Reconstruction and Recovery Plan in October last year, we said that we will prioritize infrastructure spending to support economic growth and job creation in both the short and long term. https://t.co/pAcM8pY7uC — PolitiTweet.org

Nature reserves being expanded, and lead to the creation of several new protected areas in the Pondoland Centre of Floral Endemism totalling approximately 20 000 hectares https://t.co/pAcM8pGwD4 — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
Another noteworthy aspect of this project is the attention to environmental impact. The N2 Wild Coast Region Biodiversity Offset Programme will result in the Silaka and Mkhambathi. https://t.co/pAcM8pY7uC — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
By this we mean that they don’t only spur economic activity, but community development, service delivery and job creation. https://t.co/pAcM8pGwD4 — PolitiTweet.org

This is SANRAL’s flagship infrastructure project here in the Eastern Cape. It is one of 18 designated national Strategic Integrated Projects or SIPs of catalytic value. #N2WildCoast #BuildingANewEconomy https://t.co/pAcM8pGwD4 — PolitiTweet.org

The bridges are part of the N2 Wild Coast Road Project that connects four provinces, namely the Western Cape, Eastern Cape, Kwa-Zulu/-Natal and Mpumalanga. https://t.co/pAcM8pY7uC — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
Earlier today I was also flown over the Mtentu bridge some 64km away. Once it is completed it will be the highest bridge in Africa, and one of the longest bridges of its kind in the world. This is a phenomenal achievement. https://t.co/pAcM8pY7uC — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
These are signs of a government at work, an economy on the rise, and a country on the move. Here at Msikaba is one of two mega bridges. The construction here will be completed by the end of 2023. #N2WildCoast #BuildingANewEconomy https://t.co/pAcM8pY7uC — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
Those of you who know me will know that nothing energises me more, and nothing gives me greater confidence in our economy than the sight of massive infrastructure projects, of cranes covering landscapes, and of giant construction sites. https://t.co/pAcM8pY7uC — PolitiTweet.org
Cyril Ramaphosa 🇿🇦 @CyrilRamaphosa
What I have seen today is truly an extraordinary operation that is riding to the skies in the rural Eastern Cape. #N2WildCoast #BuildingANewEconomy https://t.co/pAcM8pY7uC — PolitiTweet.org
