SANRAL has announced that communities have been consulted on the issue of compensation regarding the development of the R9-billion N2 Wild Coast Road , which will extend from East London via Mthatha , Port St Johns , and Lusikisiki to the Mtanvuna River near Port Edward . In certain cases , compensation had not yet been paid as the legal contracts have not yet been concluded . In an article in GroundUp , SANRAL referred to people who want compensation for the reburial of graves . Consultation took place with traditional leaders , public meetings , and affected families , and notices were distributed locally and also in the local newspaper . “ As a grave does not constitute an improvement , SANRAL cannot pay families for their graves . However , SANRAL does cover all the costs involved for the exhumation and reburial in a new location to the satisfaction of the family .” SANRAL is committed to delivering this key project fairly and in compliance with all relevant legislation , regulations , and conditions .

Uganda
The Ugandan government is set to construct five renewable energy plants in the districts of Arua , Jinja , Mbale , Mbarara , and Masaka . The waste-toenergy plants are expected to increase access to energy and will operate using human waste to generate 2.9MW as a public private partnership , with timing from 2019 onwards . The construction of the project will take place in a space of two years under three phases ; thereafter , the private sector will be encouraged to invest . The government has received USD3.2-million from Global Enforcement Facility for the projects and government expects to raise an additional USD14- million to kick-start construction in the next financial year through co-financing . The plants will supplement the available energy and simultaneously reduce greenhouse emission , increase energy security , and create employment . The objective of waste-to-energy plants is that if waste is not managed well , it will cause global warming and the destruction of lives through the emission of greenhouse gases such as carbon oxide .
Bank of Africa project , signed in 2016 , covers a 36-month period and is ongoing . Morocco ’ s leading construction company Travaux Generaux de Construction de Casablanca ( 40 % of the contract ), in conjunction with China Railway Construction Corp ( 60 %), is doing the construction after the consortia won the bid . The building will be the focal point of a large-scale project to develop the capital ’ s Bouregreg Valley , a key component of the 2014 – 2018 integrated development programme dubbed ‘ Rabat , City of Light , Moroccan Cultural Capital ’.
