It is a different question, but let me at least respond to it in general terms. The Department of Transport's policy is obviously to apply a strategic approach and to encourage provinces and municipalities to integrate their road maintenance, road building and road construction clearly with their integrated development plans and their integrated transport plans, and to prioritise - obviously - the key priorities of this government, which would be poverty relief, job creation and basically creating social and economic opportunities.
I cannot comment specifically on these cases. I think that those are the kinds of questions that should be directed to the relevant road authorities that were responsible for these particular decisions.
