*MEDIA STATEMENT*

*NW DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC WORKS AND ROADS PROVIDES UPDATE ON THE CLOSURE OF ROAD P53/1 BETWEEN PILANESBERG INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT AND MOGWASE*

The North West Department of Public Works and Roads wishes to provide an update regarding the temporary closure of Road P53/1 between Pilanesberg International Airport and Mogwase following concerns raised by motorists, commuters, businesses, and affected communities.

The road was closed following the collapse of a culvert along the route, which posed serious safety risks to motorists. Since the closure, the Department has been conducting extensive technical investigations to assess the extent of the damage and determine the most suitable engineering solution to restore the road safely.

Investigations conducted by engineers revealed that the collapse was caused by ageing corrugated steel Armco culverts combined with water ingress into the layer works beneath the road surface.

The situation was further worsened by the out-of-season heavy rainfall in April and May 2026, which compromised the structural integrity of the culvert and the surrounding road embankment.

The Department wishes to clarify that while routine monitoring of road infrastructure is continuously undertaken, the full extent of the structural damage to the culvert was not immediately known before the collapse.

Following the assessments, engineers have recommended the construction of a load-bearing slab above the damaged culvert, together with the rebuilding of the affected layer works as a short-term emergency intervention. This solution is intended to ensure that traffic loading is no longer transferred directly onto the weakened culvert structure.

The Department further notes that a long-term intervention involving the replacement of the old corrugated steel culverts will still be required to ensure the long-term safety and sustainability of the road infrastructure.

The estimated cost of the short-term emergency repair work is approximately R11.9 million.

The Department has finalised processes relating to the appointment of the contractor and technical team responsible for the repairs.

The contractor is expected to be on site during the week of 1-5 June 2026, subject to the finalisation of environmental compliance processes and pending feedback from the Department of Water and Environmental Affairs regarding the Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) and Environmental Management Programme (EMP) assessment reports.

The Department anticipates that the repairs will take approximately four to six weeks to complete.

Technical teams have been requested to expedite the work as far as practically possible. However, the Department cautions that should additional underlying damage be discovered during construction, the repair period may need to be extended.

The Department further wishes to emphasise that due to the high embankment surrounding the culvert area and the uncertainty regarding the full structural integrity of the affected culverts, it remains unsafe to reopen even a single lane to traffic at this stage.

MEC for Public Works and Roads in the province, Sempe Elizabeth Mokua, acknowledges the inconvenience caused by the closure of the road.

“We acknowledge the inconvenience caused by this structural damage particularly that it affects increased travelling distances, fuel costs, and delays experienced by road users who are now compelled to utilise alternative routes via the R556 and R510 roads. The Department understands the frustrations experienced and wishes to assure the public that the matter is being treated with urgency. As such, the Department together with the local municipality is assessing possible alternative bypass solutions to ease the burden on commuters,” expresses Mokua.

The Department continues to appeal to motorists and members of the public to comply with road closure notices and avoid attempting to illegally access the closed section of the road, as doing so may place lives at serious risk.

Further updates will be communicated to the public as progress unfolds.

MOSES KOTANE LOCAL MUNICIPALITY SUPPORTS DIGITAL COMMUNITY RADIO AS A MODEL FOR YOUTH EMPOWERMENT AND LOCAL ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT

The municipality through Communication unit recently participated in and supported the official unveiling of Maboe FM, a Ledig-based website online digital mobile radio station that is expected to contribute meaningfully towards youth empowerment, skills development, and local economic opportunities within the municipality.

MKLM has over the years supported various village-based radio initiatives through guidance on application processes, compliance matters and capacity building.

Maboe FM, which is now officially unveiled, introduces an innovative mobile broadcasting concept that allows the station to conduct outside broadcasts from different communities across Moses Kotane. The station broadcasts online through the Website www.maboefm.co.za or https://maboefm.ismyradio.com
Communities are encouraged to tune in, support the initiative, buy advertising airtime, also enquire at [email protected]
about radio presenter opportunities for skilled individuals, and collaborate with the station in efforts aimed at growing the local economy and strengthening access to information.

The station broadcasts in both English and Setswana to ensure broader accessibility while also promoting local culture, heritage, and identity.
The municipality worked collaboratively with Ms Tebogo Jonas together with Mr Lerato Modisane well known as Dj Pl***oy, who oversees programming at the station.

Mr Modisane (Dj Pl***oy) further explained that what makes Maboe FM unique is its mobile broadcasting approach. Instead of operating from one fixed location only, the station plans to travel to different villages and communities within Moses Kotane to interact directly with residents and provide them with opportunities to share their stories, concerns, achievements, and aspirations.

Moses Kotane Local Municipality believes that more community and digital radio stations can still be established to further cascade local content, developmental information, and government programmes to communities.
“We are a municipality that believes local government information must reach the people. Supporting initiatives focused on youth empowerment, opportunities, capacity building, and local economic growth remains important,” said Manager for Communications, Ms Lekgethwane.

The municipality also expressed appreciation to Mr Maboe for the major role he played in supporting the establishment and fruition of Maboe FM in Ledig.
