The finished bus stops add to the aesthetic of the completed road and beautify the area through which this portion of the R410 runs,” Peterson said. “A recurring theme in the murals was road safety, which is indicative of the impact that such a road has on local communities.

  • South Africa's National Roads Agency, 1998
    INCREASING TRANSPARENCY AND IMPROVING PROJECT MANAGEMENT: SOUTH AFRICA’S NATIONAL ROADS AGENCY, 1998 – 2011 SYNOPSIS Following the transition to democracy in 1994, South Africa experimented with ways to improve ministry effectiveness by separating policy-making functions from operations. The Department of Transport introduced principles of New Public Management and public-private partnerships to improve service delivery. The South African National Roads Agency Ltd. (SANRAL), led by Nazir Alli, reconfigured the procurement process and financing models for planning, design, construction, maintenance and operation of the country’s national road network. Increasing transparency in the tendering of contracts led to greater accountability on the part of project managers and contractors. This case study chronicles the steps that Alli and his staff took to build the agency and to deliver results on a large scale, culminating with the upgrade of the freeway connecting the cities of Johannesburg and Pretoria during the final months before the 2010 FIFA World Cup. Richard Bennet drafted this case study based on interviews conducted in Pretoria and Cape Town, South Africa, in March 2011. INTRODUCTION (SANRAL) at the time, recalled, “For all of us In the months leading up to the 2010 in South Africa, it was at the moment again FIFA World Cup, South Africa braced itself like April 1994 [when Nelson Mandela was for an influx of visitors from around the world. elected president]. …There was this huge Construction workers scrambled to finish enthusiasm to say we know we can do it, and major infrastructure upgrades, including the we’ve got to deliver. … Everybody pulled their first part of the Gauteng Freeway weight to make sure that we met those Improvement Project, an upgrade of the roads milestones.” The first phase of the project connecting the cities of Johannesburg and highlighted SANRAL’s ability to renovate and Pretoria.

  • Establishing the South African National Roads Agency: a Lesson in Organizational Leadership and Learning
    Establishing the South African National Roads Agency: A Lesson in Organizational Leadership and Learning By Nazir Alli and Neil Tolmie A modern example of leadership and learning in the creation of a roads authority can be found in the South African National Roads Agency Ltd. (SANRAL), established in April 1998. The agency was created by an act of Parliament in accordance with the South African government’s commitment to transforming the public sector to make it more effective and cost-efficient. In support of the government’s overall objective of creating “a bet- ter South Africa for all,” the Ministry of Transport produced the Transport White Paper. Among the ministry objectives listed in the paper are (1) “to improve the safety, security, reliability, and quali- ty of transporting goods and people”; and (2) to improve the com- petitiveness of South Africa and its transport infrastructure and operations ... “to better meet the needs of different customer groups, both locally and globally.” As the model to implement its objec- tives, the ministry chose to create a roads agency, SANRAL. Leadership Issue 75 speed, well-designed and -maintained roads that afford predictable and reliable travel times. Provincial roads, making up 340,000 kilometers of the country’s roadways, provide access and mobility regionally and are provided for various economic and social reasons, such as to offer a distribu- tion network for goods and people within the provincial bound- aries linking towns, cities, and commercial and recreational cen- ters. They are managed by the country’s provincial authorities. Finally, urban roads, managed by South Africa’s municipal author- ities, are roads that provide access and mobility in urban areas.
