9 Overview of the Strategic Integrated Projects 2. Enabling socio-economic 1. Catalytic Greening the South African economy Unlocking Northern mineral belt Electricity Generation --Gauteng Corridor Development Electricity Transmission and Distribution South Eastern Node & Corridor Development Integrated Municipal Infrastructure Saldanha-Northern Cape Corridor Development Integrated Urban Space and Public Transport Agro-logistics and rural Infrastructure Regional Integration

3. Crosscutting Access to communication technology, SKA and MeerKat National school build Higher Education Revitalisation of public hospitals Unlocking the economic opportunities in North West Province

10 SIP 1: Unlocking the Northern Mineral Belt with Primary Mineral Reserves Waterberg as the Catalyst Platinum - Investment in rail, water pipelines, energy generation and 6323 tons transmission infrastructure will catalyse unlocking of rich mineral resources in Limpopo resulting in thousands of direct jobs across the areas covered. Urban development in the Waterberg will be the first major post apartheid new urban centre and will be a “green” development project.

Mining includes coal, platinum and other minerals for local use and export, hence the rail capacity is being extended to Mpumalanga power stations and for export principally via Richards Bay and in future Maputo (via Swaziland link).

The additional rail capacity will shift coal from road to rail in Mpumalanga with positive environmental and social benefits. Supportive logistics corridors will help to strengthen Mpumalanga’s economic development. SIP 2: Durban- Free State– Gauteng Logistics and Industrial Corridor Strengthen the logistics and transport corridor between SA’s main industrial hubs; improve access to Durban’s export and import facilities, raise efficiency along the corridor and integrate the Free State Industrial Strategy activities into the corridor and integrate the currently disconnected industrial and logistics activities as well as marginalised rural production centres surrounding the corridor that are currently isolated from the main logistics system.

11 SIP 3: South Eastern node & corridor development Promote rural development through a new dam at Umzimvubu with irrigation systems and the N2- Wildcoast Highway which improves access into KZN and national supply chains; strengthen economic development in PE through a manganese rail capacity from N Cape, a manganese sinter (NC) and smelter (EC); possible Mthombo refinery (Coega) and transshipment hub at Ngqura and port and rail upgrades to improve industrial capacity and performance of the automotive sector. SIP 4: Unlocking the economic opportunities in North West Province The acceleration of identified investments in roads, rail, bulk water and water treatment and transmission infrastructure will result in reliable supply, meet basic social needs and facilitate the further development of mining, agricultural activities and tourism opportunities and open up beneficiation opportunities in the North West Province.

SIP 5: Saldanha-Northern Cape Development Corridor

Develop the Saldanha-Northern Cape linked region in an integrated manner through rail and port expansion, back-of- port industrial capacity (which may include an IDZ) and strengthening maritime support capacity to create economic opportunities from the gas and oil activities along the African West Coast. For the Northern Cape, expansion of iron ore mining production

12 SIP 8: Green Energy in support of the South African economy Support sustainable green energy initiatives on a national scale through a diverse range of clean energy options as envisaged in the IPR2010 and to support biofuel production facilities. SIP 9: Electricity Generation to support socio- economic development

Accelerate the construction of new electricity generation capacity in accordance with the IRP2010 to meet the needs of the economy and address historical imbalances.

SIP 10: Electricity Transmission and Distribution for all

Expand the transmission and distribution network to address historical imbalances, provide access to electricity for all and support economic development.

Align the 10-year transmission plan, the services backlog, the national broadband roll-out and the freight rail line development to leverage off regulatory approvals, supply chain and project development capacity.

13 SIP 6: Integrated Municipal Infrastructure Project

Develop a national capacity to assist the 23 least resourced districts (17 million people) to address all the maintenance backlogs and upgrades required in water, electricity and sanitation bulk infrastructure. The road maintenance programme will enhance the service delivery capacity thereby impact positively on the population.

SIP 7: Integrated Urban Space and Public Transport Programme Coordinate planning and implementation of public transport, human settlement, economic and social infrastructure and location decisions into sustainable urban settlements connected by densified transport corridors.

SIP 11: Agri-logistics and rural infrastructure

Improve investment in agricultural and rural infrastructure that supports expansion of production and employment, small-scale farming and rural development, including facilities for storage (silos, fresh-produce facilities, packing houses); transport links to main networks (rural roads, branch train-line, ports), fencing of farms, irrigation schemes to poor areas, improved R&D on rural issues (including expansion of agricultural colleges), processing facilities (abattoirs, dairy infrastructure), aquaculture incubation schemes and rural tourism infrastructure.

14 SIP 12: Revitalisation of public hospitals and other health facilities

Build and refurbish hospitals, other public health facilities and revamp 122 nursing colleges. Extensive capital expenditure to prepare the public health care system to meet the further requirements of the National Health Insurance (NHI). SIP 13: National school build programme

A national school build programme driven by uniformity in planning, procurement, contract management & provision of basic services. Replace inappropriate school structures and address basic service backlog & provision of basic services under the Accelerated School Infrastructure Delivery Initiative (ASIDI). In addition address national backlogs in classrooms, libraries, computer labs and admin buildings. Improving the learning environment will go a long way in improving outcomes especially in the rural schools as well as reduce overcrowding.

SIP 14: Higher Education Infrastructure

Infrastructure development for higher education focusing on lecture rooms, student accommodation, libraries and laboratories as well as ICT connectivity. Development of university towns with combination of facilities from residence, retail and recreation & transport. Potential to ensure shared infrastructure such as libraries by universities, FETs & other educational institutions.

15 SIP 16: SKA & Meerkat

SKA is a global mega science project, building an advanced radio-telescope facility linked to research infrastructure and high speed ICT capacity & provides an opportunity for Africa and South Africa to contribute towards advance science. SIP 15: Expanding access to communication technology Infraco capacity on WACs. Local Municipal Network Provide for 100% broadband coverage to all households by 2020 by establishing core Points of Presence (POP’s) in district municipalities, extend new Infraco fibre networks across provinces linking districts, establish POP’s and fibre connectivity at local level, and further penetrate the network into deep rural areas. Infraco national Districts network connected into provincial While the private sector will invest in ICT infrastructure for urban backbone and corporate networks, government will co-invest for township and rural access as well as for e-government, school and health connectivity.

The school rollout focus initially on the 125 Dinaledii (science and math focussed) schools and 1525 district schools. Part of digital access to all South Africans includes TV migration nationally from analogue to digital broadcasting.

16 Bulk water Electricity Hydro Power: resources: Lesotho Transmission: DRC (Grand Inga), • Population: 1 bn Highlands Mozambique Zambia Lesotho • Arable land (Cesul) and Mozambique • Water resources (Mphanda Nkuwa) • Oil, gas and mineral resources • Growing economies

Transport: Regional interconnectors

SIP 17: Regional Integration for African cooperation and development

Participate in mutually beneficial infrastructure projects to unlock long term socio-economic benefits by partnering with fast growing African economies with projected growth ranging between 3% and 10%.

The projects involving transport, water and energy also provide competitively priced diversified, short, medium to long term options for the South African economy where for example, electricity transmission in Mozambique (Cesul) could assist in provided cheap, clean hydro power in the short term whilst Grand Inga in the DRC is long term.

All these projects complement the Free Trade Area (FTA) to create a market of 600 million people in South, Central and East Africa.

 Age of road network in relation to typical design lifespan (20 years);

 Extent of road network condition in poor to very poor condition;

 Exponential increase in vehicle traffic, especially freight traffic - increases maintenance requirements & the need to upgrade roads;  Shortage of bitumen supply is straining road maintenance in South Africa,

 Lack of investments / inadequate funding -  for period maintenance has resulted in a rapid deterioration of the road network  the current maintenance effort at current funding levels is inadequate to address maintenance backlog;

 Lack of road condition data and maintenance of a Road Asset Management System (RAMS) - affects project prioritisation by Road Authorities;

 Implementation of a Road Classification System - especially at municipal level;

 Proclamation of roads - especially rural access roads and informal settlements;

 Technical Skills - to plan, implement, monitor and evaluate projects and to report on existing road infrastructure investments.

23 Strategic Interventions to Date

24 Strategic Intervention - outstanding

Promotion of an Equitable Rural Access

 There is poor or no infrastructure for rural communities to access health, schools, social facilities, etc;

 PRMG cannot address this problem since it is for maintenance only;

 PRMG is limited to Provincial Road Network;

 Department wants to clear these backlogs of access to clinics by 2014, on direction of Government;

 Access requires putting down new infrastructure by the implementing Road Authorities;

 Linkage to Millennium Development Goals and Rural Accessibility Index

 Of the allocated amount, R18 billion (R18 850 917 0000) to be transferred to provinces and municipalities towards road maintenance.

 Effective coordination with provinces and municipalities is needed to ensure that the department is not only a conduit of funds to the other spheres of government, but that, importantly, it plays a leading role in monitoring and evaluating the implementation of government programmes.

27  SANRAL to provide a critical supporting role in implementation of the Maintenance Programme.  Another portion of the budget amounting to .9 billion (R21 941 930 000) will be transferred to state owned companies and agencies which are the delivery agents of the department.

 The department is building the requisite internal capacity in order to better provide oversight over the State Owned Companies and agencies under its remit.

 Significant progress has been made to align strategies and APP`s of the State Owned Companies and agencies

 After Budget allocation to provinces, municipalities, State Owned Companies and agencies, the Department is left with R921 million (R921 562 000) to carry out its policy development and oversight responsibilities.

28  The spending focus over the next year will predominantly be on:

 Maintaining road infrastructure;  Upgrading the rail infrastructure and services; and  Constructing and operating public transportation infrastructure

 Expenditure will include

◦ Transfers, which comprise an average of 96.1% of the total budget allocation of the Department of Transport over the medium term: ◦ The Passenger Rail Agency of South Africa (PRASA) - R 3.678 billion for current operations and R 7.481 billion for capital infrastructure; ◦ The South African National Road Agency (SANRAL) – R3.454 billion for current operations and R7.043 billion for capital infrastructure.

29  Upgrading the railway infrastructure and services  Within the period under review, the procurement process for the fleet renewal programme of the Passenger Rail Agency of South Africa (PRASA) was concluded in December 2012.  The success of the programme will lead to:  A new coach building and locomotive assembly plant being established in the Gauteng province;  As a result of this, 8 300 direct jobs will be created; and  Another 22 000 jobs will be created through localisation  The accelerated rolling stock programme has been concluded and has resulted in:  579 coaches being delivered in 2012/13 to Metro Rail;  3 Coaches to Shosholoza Meyl and

 9 locomotives upgraded at a cost of more than R1.3 billion.

30 SANRAL received R3.454 billion for current operations and R7.043 billion for capital infrastructure.

South Africa has a total road network of 750 000 km of which 17 000km is managed by SANRAL.

Non-toll road network accounts for 83.1% of the national road network which is funded by the fiscus, the balance of 16.9% form part of the toll portfolio network of roads.

During the 2012/13 financial year, SANRAL awarded 202 contracts for new works, rehabilitation and improvement, periodic and special maintenance, routine road maintenance, community development, supervision and other activities to the value of R11.6 billion with R9.5 billion being spent on non-toll roads.

SANRAL spent a total of R1.8 billion on contracts with Small Medium and Micro Enterprises (SMMEs) of which R1.2 billion went to black owned firms, for both toll and non-toll roads. Sanral will continue to implement non-toll projects during the MTEF p

48 49 50 51 52 The “Decade of Action for Road Safety : 2010 – 2020” locates its strategy within a political economy paradigm of road vulnerability and advocates a people centred development methodology to drive a culture change that is now considered fundamental to the creation of a safe road environment.

53  The Moscow Declaration supported the proposal that road safety initiatives in the developing world should target a 50% reduction in road accident fatalities and that this be funded by an allocation of 10% of road construction and maintenance budgets.

 This has undoubtedly placed developing nations, especially South Africa, under new pressure to deliver.

 This will be achieved through the implementation of road infrastructure assessment and improved safety conscious planning, design, construction and operation of roads. ‐

54  The recent statistics- most accidents happens at Secondary road network  Safer road infrastructure can reduce of crashes and fatalities  The infrastructure gap due to attitude, ‘It’s not roads that kill, it’s people.’  Human factor the biggest contributing factor to crashes but the road environment very often leads to unsafe behaviour road users, e.g. . lack of appropriate road signs, inadequate maintenance . flaws in road design, lack of facilities for pedestrians, the elderly and youth . high speed roads through communities and villages and visibility at night.  Integrate engineering designs to address social behaviour  Human limitation must be accommodated in engineering design as it influences human behaviour – design for safety.

55  Road fatalities are a major contributor to unnatural deaths. Annually an estimated 1,3million people die on roads globally.  Every day approximately 3200 people are killed on roads around the world. South Africa contributes roughly 40 death per day and 14000 deaths per annum annually.  The country’s mortality rate of 28 per 100 000 citizens is one of the worst in the world. It is also the largest unnatural killer of children in South Africa.  Road crashes have become recognized internationally as a social and economic burden, particularly in developing countries. The most badly affected by road traffic incidents are the poor.

56 57 The contributory factors are circumstantial elements that are present at the time of the crash and are generally classified under four main categories, namely: human, vehicle, roadway and the environment.

The contributory factors to road crashes are generally classified under 3 main categories as follows: • Human • Vehicle • Road & environment

58  The human factor contributed 82,85% to fatal crashes during 2009 and 84.91% in 2010. Vehicle factor contributed decreased from 9.13% in 2009 to 5.79% in 2010. The road and environment contributed 8,02% in 2009 and 9.3% in 2010.  The reported contributory factors to fatal crashes during 2009 and 2010 are reflected in the general and respective human, vehicle and road and environment figures below

59  For the purpose of today’s discussions we will focus ourselves on this particular factor, human factor  One of the challenges within this factor is “Distracted Driving”  And we also talk about “Distracted Walking” as well  This is the “Texting and Driving” and “Texting and Walking”

60  An incentive to Road Authorities to partner with the DoT to implement safety projects.

 Access to the dedicated funding will be subject to preparation of business Business Plans ; Evaluation and allocation of funds according to set criteria.  Reporting on the safety performance of the implemented measures.

 Road safety training and education in safety engineering, road safety auditing and assessment courses be developed and that bursaries be made available to prospective candidates to undergo such training and education programmes.

61  The Constitution Act 108 of 1996, provides specific functions for the levels of government:-  The national Department of Transport: ◦ plays largely facilitative and regulatory role in respect of roads and transport to ensure consistency. ◦ Develops policies and legislation which is then implemented through provincial departments, local government and a range of public entities. ◦ Provincial roads & traffic management are Schedule 5A functions, while municipal roads, traffic and parking are exclusive Schedule 5B municipal functions. ◦ Public transport is a concurrent Schedule 4A national and provincial function, and municipal public transport is a Schedule 4B concurrent provincial and ◦ municipal function.

62 63 The doubling of vehicle ownership since 1994. Almost half of South Africa’s vehicle population is concentrated in Gauteng (National Traffic Information Register / eNATIS records indicate an excess of 4.5 million vehicles).

 Most freeways in Gauteng have reached their design capacity (pavement lifespan & operating traffic capacity). Infrastructure provision did not keep up with growth.

 Peak hours are extending by 10 to 15 minutes each year.

 Results in congestion and uneconomical use of time with increased road user costs, vehicle operating costs and carbon emissions.

 Urban sprawl continues to expand the cities of Gauteng.

 The bulk of public transport is road based (busses and taxis) - if the road network is becoming congested, it results in an ineffective public transport system.

 Provision of this infrastructure is costly - without sustainable funding, any strategy will be ineffective.

64  The question is – how do the Road Authorities and users of transportation, decongest Gauteng?

 To achieve sustainable mobility for the future - collaborative effort between the authorities and transportation users will be required:  Authorities should implement the correct strategies and related infrastructures  Transport users should adjust travel habits in order to achieve success with any strategy implemented e.g. use public transport  Objective is simple - less trips & smarter trip decisions

 Key success factor - the ability to fund the implementation of these strategies and associated infrastructure

65 Actions already implemented as part of such an integrated approach  Gautrain, together with a bus feeder system fully operational. ( ~͌ billion )

 Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) systems : Phase One completed (~͌ R3.9 billion) and plans are in place for expansion of the system in JHB, Tshwane(phase in progress) and Ekhurhuleni

 Government commitment to upgrade the metro rail system (~͌ R7 billion signalling, ~͌ R137 billion for next twenty years for rolling stock. First new coaches by 2015).  The first phase of the Gauteng Freeway Improvement Project (GFIP):  Improvement of 200 km of the core Gauteng freeway network, including upgrading of all the interchanges.  Approximately 50% reduction in travel times achieved  GFIP freeways are equipped with Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS) and the open road toll (ORT) system ready to be implemented with ability to:  Charge tolls without the requirement to stop  Charge different toll tariffs for different vehicle classes  Incentivise travelling outside peak hours by means of a time of day discount regime  GFIP introduced improved incident response capability:  Incident management vehicles  Dedicated light and heavy vehicle towing vehicles, and  First line medical response.  Alternative (additional) uses of the ITS are being investigated

66  Phase A1: The substantial upgrading of approximately 201 km of freeway which includes pavement rehabilitation, interchange upgrades and lane additions. These routes are the , , sections of the N12, and the R21.

 Phase A2: The substantial upgrading of a further 65km of freeway and less intensive upgrading of other freeways in Gauteng. The majority of these freeways are under the Gauteng Provincial Government’s jurisdiction. Also included in this phase, is the completion of the proposed PWV 14 between and O.R. Tambo International Airport.

 Phase B: The construction of a further approximately 63km of new freeway sections including portions of the PWV 5 (between Kyalami and Tembisa), PWV 9 (between Johannesburg and Pretoria), as well as the N17 between the West Rand and Soweto.  Phase C: The construction of a further 95km of new routes, subject to financial viability, including further extensions to the PWV 5, PWV 9, the construction of the K54 and PWV 15.

72 ALTERNATIVE ROUTES In progress

The R101 is also known as the Old Pretoria Road in Johannesburg (Midrand) and the Old Johannesburg road in Tshwane (Centurion).

 Street lighting is in the process of being installed by Tshwane metro on the section through Centurion, and shoulder repairs are being carried out as part of the outsourced routine maintenance programme  The section of the R101 between the Jukskei river and Woodmead Drive is currently being rehabilitated, accesses improved and climbing lanes provided.  It should be noted that the Provincial section of the M1 between Woodmead Drive and Corlett Drive is currently being rehabilitated and upgraded to 4 lanes. The M1 will also provide a non-tolled alternative to the N1 (Johannesburg Eastern Bypass).

The old Vereeniging Road (R82) is the extension of the M1 towards Vereeniging and provides an alternative to the N1 between Vereeniging and Johannesburg.

 A contract for the reconstruction and upgrading of the R82 from road D77 in Eikenhof to road D1073 in Walkerville was awarded on 17 January and is scheduled for completion on 16 July 2013.

73 ALTERNATIVE ROUTES Planned The R55: The design of the rehabilitation and upgrading of the section between the Olifantsfontein road and Main Road (P71/1) has been completed The R101: The detail design of the upgrade of the section between Eeufees road and the Rooihuiskraal Interchange to a dual carriageway in Centurion has been completed but not yet implemented due to the high cost of road construction over the dolomitic area in Snake Valley (Thaba Tshwane) and limited funding available. Alternative Road between Johannesburg and Heidelberg (R103)  The detail designs and tender documentation for the upgrading of the old main road between Heidelberg and Johannesburg (R103 – Nederveen road) which provides an alternative to the N3 in the Vosloorus area from Forsdic Road to Barry Marais road has been completed, and the project is scheduled to go out on tender in November 2012.

Alternative Road between Bronkhorstpruit and Kempton Park  The detail design for the upgrading of the R25 between Bronkhorstpruit and Kempton Park has been completed and a contractor appointed for the upgrade. He has already established on site and has commenced with the work. Alternative Road between Pretoria and Roodepoort (N14)  The N14 Krugersdorp freeway also provides an alternative route to the N1 from Pretoria to Roodepoort. The detail design and land acquisition for the Pinehaven interchange at the intersection of Hendrik Potgieter road and the Krugersdorp freeway has been completed and the project was scheduled to start in the 2011/2012 financial year. This project has been delayed due to legal issues around the award of a contract, and will continue as soon as the legal issues have been resolved. The old Vereeniging Road (R82) is the extension of the M1 towards Vereeniging and provides an alternative to the N1 between Vereeniging and Johannesburg.  The detail design of the reconstruction and upgrade of the next section to De Deur is scheduled for completion by August 2012, and construction scheduled to start in the 2013/14 financial year.

74 Conclusion

 In spite of funding challenges within Government, National Treasury continues to be favourable to the Roads Sector;

 The success of the National Roads Development programme is dependant on the outcomes of the funding mechanisms dispute (e-tolling court case);

 The success of Provincial Roads programme is dependant on the Gauteng Province’s  ability to optimise of the PRMG allocations by the Department of Transport;  ability to secure sufficient funding from its Equitable Share Budgets;  ability to complete the road classification and proclamation processes;  full scale implementation of the Road Asset Management Systems; and  capacity to prioritise, plan and implement its road infrastructure projects

 Technocrats and Industry players – are invited to partner with Government  For Innovation in new technologies (green roads and green transport)  In addressing the shortage of road construction materials
