Speaking at the launch of Dikgerekgere Wednesday on road D794 in Thabazimbi, the Honourable MEC for the Limpopo Department of Public Works, Roads, and Infrastructure, Mr Ernest Rachoene, emphasised that this initiative is being prioritised to support tourism destinations, which are key drivers of economic growth in the Limpopo Province.
“One of the priorities of the 7th Administration was about ensuring improved economic growth in the province. The reason we are here is to complement the activities of the October Tourism Month by ensuring that roads which enable our tourism and farming communities continue to contribute to the province GDP are attended to,” said the MEC.
In welcoming the Dikgerekgere Wednesday Programme, Chairperson of the Tourism and Farming Community in Thabazimbi, Mr James Breedt, highlighted that the area receives international visitors and by ensuring that their travel from OR Tambo all the way to their tourism destinations in Limpopo is seamless, will undoubtedly improve the district’s economic growth. ‘By investing in our roads, we are not just improving infrastructure but building the pathways to stronger local economies and a more vibrant tourism sector,’ he added.”
RAL Accounting Authority, Mr Moses Tseli, added that the Agency is committed to doubling its efforts to complement the work being done through Dikgerekgere Wednesday, ensuring that Limpopo’s roads remain accessible and driveable.
