New surface for Domboni road

The days of driving on bumpy road surfaces are a thing of the past for the community of Domboni village outside Musina.

This follows Musina Municipality’s initiative of re-grading and re-gravelling the village’s 4,5km internal road. 

The road project came after local villagers put it as one of their priorities during public participation meetings.

Local ward councillor Fistos Mafela said the maintenance of road surfaces was of great importance to ensure the smooth running of traffic within Domboni village. “This is just one part of Musina Municipality’s focus areas of improving the lives of our people. 

The initiative will also assist to improve service delivery, because Domboni village will now be easier to access. 

We were also aware that some motorists were reluctant to visit the village due to the bad state of the internal road. 

Now that the road is fixed, we have no doubt that local drivers and visitors will enjoy driving into the village without hesitation.”

Mafela said the re-grading and re-gravelling of the Domboni access road not only benefitted Domboni residents and people of Ward 1 of Musina Municipality. 

“This initiative will help to speed up economic activities in Domboni village.”

Many car owners and commuters could not hide their excitement and kept talking about how the improvement of the road would impact their daily lives. One of the local vehicle owners, Edward Nndwamato (62), said:  “It was hard to travel on this road before it was improved. We are happy to know that Musina Municipality takes service delivery very seriously.”
