It was a day of excitement for the Vhulaudzi Tshitavha community outside Louis Trichardt, when they recently attended the opening of the Madzuwa access road and bridge.
A local MP, Mr Moses Tseli, was among the invited guests who attended the main event, held at the Vhulaudzi Community Hall.
The new access road and bridge formed part of the projects approved by the Makhado municipal council for the 2015/16 financial year. After months of hard work, the new access road and bridge are now helping to ease travelling for the residents.
The access road and bridge were officially opened by the MEC for the Department of Public Works and Infrastructure, Mr Jerry Ndou. He said that the government cared about the people and said that the people must appreciate what the government was doing for them.
A traditional leader, Chief Zwokundavhalala Radzilani, expressed his excitement after the official opening of the bridge. He said that his people would no longer struggle to cross the river. "It was very difficult to cross the river during rainy seasons and now travelling will be easy," said Radzilani.
The mayor of the Makhado Municipality, Cllr David Mutavhatsindi, said that Makhado was known for delivering quality services to the people.
