Covid-19 prompts government to finally repair fencing between SA and Zimbabwe

Minister of Public Works and Infrastructure Patricia de Lille says her department has identified 37 state-owned properties in different provinces that can be used as quarantine sites amid the coronavirus outbreak, and work to properly secure South Africa’s northern border.

De Lille said she was engaging with various industry bodies and entities within the built environment and construction sectors around measures they were taking to respond to Covid-19. During the briefing De Lille commented on section 27 of the Disaster Management Act, saying she had invoked emergency procurement procedures in relation to the erection and repairs of the border fences east and west of the Beitbridge border post.

“The project, which will cost approximately R37.2 million, will commence today and all 40km of the fence will be done within one month,” she added.
