🚧 [WATCH] | N2 CORRIDOR CONSTRUCTION The machinery being used to construct the N2 from Ermelo towards the KwaZulu-Natal border represents a new level of road construction technology. Imported from Germany, the specialised machinery has the capacity to lay approximately 350 metres of concrete road per day. The project... uses a different approach to road construction, incorporating reinforcement bars and concrete to create a stronger and more durable pavement. The concrete road is designed to provide long-term durability, with an expected lifespan of up to 30 years with minimal maintenance, while being strong enough to withstand the heavy loads carried by freight vehicles along this important corridor. A stronger N2 means safer roads, better freight movement and stronger economic activity. #OctoberTransportMonth #OTMSA2026 #N2Corridor #RoadInfrastructure #MpumalangaAProvinceThatWorksForAll #GovZAUpdatesMP #TheNationThatWorksForAllshow more

What is the cost per kilometer compared to a conventional tarred road with properly prepared under-layers, and the maintenance cost and comparative lifespan? Whenever we see something like this, we worry about corruption and ANC cadres scooping.

One kilometre in three days? Is that efficient? 100 kilometers in one year? 🤓🙆🏿‍♂️

Southa my baby 🇿🇦 little by little. We will get you there.

Is the machine owned by the government. A BIG NO !!!!

SADC...What happened to Rail? I thought we were supposed to be doing Rail everywhere.

So we see in this video many people 90% of whom are standing around seemingly doing nothing while machines are operating. Surely we can better manage productivity

Is this machine owned by government???????

Why so many people? I’m sure this German technology needs about 2 people to lay the road, and certainly won’t need 4 guys with trowels. I bet it wasn’t bought from the Germans directly. There must be a dozen cadres in the middle doubling the cost

Who owns the machine, Sanral or a contractor?

...but it is not good for employees as they kneel, bend their back and stretches themselves to reach the ground. Basic Conditions of Employment doesn't encourage such. It possesse a risk to employees to twist their joints & or fall on the mud which might endanger the eye....

@MinistryofTID learn

@MinistryofTID

What machine is that @grok and where else in the world is being used

Finally!

When are we making our on south African machines,importing machines for the past hundred years,lets learn from the Chinese government and make our own things

@MhonaFelix hona zvinoitwa kumwe.

N2 in MP has been underconstruction for more than decade now

The only positive thing happening in this country.

Which crooked @MYANC cadre got the tender✊

no the original N2 to PMB was built this way many , many years back.

awesome

The N1 PTA to Jozi had to revert to asphalt. Just saying

When they realise it's progressive they breakit an ship it bk for repair for five year's 😂😂 tenderprenuers

Ya nerh ….the older traditional is way better than this…this is the same corruption to eat money 🤣🤣🤣🤣

@MinistryofTID come la

Who is the owner of that company doing that road?
