Development Type: 

ProposalDescription: 

The Msunduzi Local Municipality proposes to upgrade the Makhathini Road within Ward 14 of Msunduzi Local Municipality, uMgungundlovu District Municipality, KwaZulu-Natal, which will require the infill and excavation of material from within a watercourse. Makhathini Road is an existing dirt road located within an urban area approximately 13km south west of Pietermaritzburg (as the crow flies) and is primarily used by the local community for access to their homesteads. The road has become heavily eroded making access difficult. This is an existing road, and the upgrade will be following the same route. There will be no disturbance of the surrounding homesteads.

Expanded_Motivation: 

A heritage study has been conducted in the Willowfontein area and revealed that a 19th Century Ruin is located 1.3km away from the Makhathini Road, and that the D.C.O. Matiwane Museum / Cultural Centre is located 600m from the development. No aspects of archaeological or cultural significance were observed near the road footprint during the site survey conducted by the EAP. During construction, the contractors will only be excavating the top 1m of the road surface, to make way for the new concrete surface.
