GEORGE NEWS - With the upgrade of the Thembalethu Bridge in George set to start in May, the South African National Roads Agency SOC Limited (Sanral) is planning a series of community engagements to discuss project participation opportunities for local labour.
"We have already had engagements with the SMMEs to discuss subcontracting opportunities and have made a commitment to the people of George that we would be back to engage about local labour opportunities," says Sanral project manager Petronella Theron in a statement issued on Tuesday 26 April.
The following sessions are planned:
- 3 May at 18:00, Thembalethu Community Hall
- 4 May at 18:00, Zone 9 Community Hall, Qawa Street
- 5 May at 18:00, Conville Community Hall, 1 Pienaar Street
"Targeted labour is particularly prioritised for women, youth and persons with disabilities, and communities are encouraged to attend the sessions in order to register on the labour database, from where names will be drawn to work on the project," says Theron.
