The Lepelle-Nkumpi Local Municipality, in collaboration with SANRAL, took action to clear illegal structures obstructing traffic at the R579–Jane Furse and R518–Zebediela intersection in Lebowakgomo on Friday.

This is in accordance with the South African National Roads Agency Limited and National Roads Act, 1998 (Act No. 7 of 1998), Section 48, which prohibits erecting structures on or over, or below the surface of, a national road or land in a building restriction area. The collaborative move aims to improve road safety and traffic management.
