The Democratic Alliance (DA) in the Eastern Cape would like to congratulate the DA-led Kouga Municipality on officially launching Africa's first eco-friendly road.
Today, 13 December 2019, I was joined by DA Leader, John Steenhuisen MP, and DA EC Shadow MEC for Cooperative Governance and Traditional Affairs (Cogta), Vicky Knoetze MPL, at the launch.
Kouga Executive Mayor Horatio Hendricks cut the ribbon at Woltemade Street in Jeffreys Bay to declare the new plastic-infused road open to traffic.
A 300m strip of Woltemade Street has been re-layered with plastic-infused tar, with a further section of Koraal Street to follow. Plastic-infused roads are more durable and friendlier to the environment.
