Doors still open for SMMEs
The R573 Moloto Road brings jobs, training and opportunities for local businesses in Gauteng, Mpumalanga and Limpopo. The evidence lies in the total number of small-, medium- and microenterprises (SMMEs) contracted so far, as well as the growing number of registrations of those who want to participate in the project.
Presently there are 1 172 SMMEs registered on the SANRAL database, but with the project being planned for the next four to six years, there is still an opportunity
for interested SMMEs to register at their respective local municipalities.
SANRAL is committed to the development of small businesses, especially those that are black-, youth- and women-owned. Therefore a key part of the contractual agreement between SANRAL and the appointed contractors is that the contractors should provide training for local small companies. This is to ensure that at the end of the project, there has been valuable skills transfer and CIDB grades have improved.
