Sanral says land acquisition has been a contentious issue in various projects.
South African National Roads Agency Limited Officials are in Mpumalanga on an engagement with traditional leaders and communities on the acquisition of land for the multi-billion-rand Moloto Road extension.
Sanral Project Manager David Thubane says they’ve in recent years had to refer several land acquisition disputes to the Ministry of Transport for intervention. “There are some cases where they want an excessive amount of compensation. We call that failure negotiations and give it to the minister of transport to apply her mind. We’ve had a lot of instances where the minister has had to come in . People don’t like that either but we are not forcing our powers or imposing into their houses,” he explains.
