The development of the N2 Wild Coast Road project by Sanral could create thousands of jobs, according to President Ramaphosa. The president was speaking at an event at the Msikaba Bridge site in the Eastern Cape on Thursday, which is part of the project.

He added the highway would address mobility challenges for people in rural communities in the Eastern Cape, reduce travelling distances and time, would be safer and would benefit tourism, both inside and outside the province.But the project has not been welcomed by all communities. recently reported some residents were concerned the road would disturb their way of life, essentially splitting the community in half and pollute the environment.

The project also includes the creation of new protected areas in the Pondoland Centre of Floral Endemism of approximately 20 000 hectares.For example, construction at the Mtentu Bridge site was halted because communities raised concerns that they were not properly included in the development."It is my hope that Sanral continues with this proactive engagement with communities around the Mtentu project development," Ramaphosa said.

He, however, implored communities to co-operate with the government when such projects were planned and implemented.
