The South African government is obliged to render basic services for the
people through local government municipalities. These basic services include
among others the development of adequate roads, clean water and electricity.
The responsibility of the delivery of these services was given to the
municipality after the 1994 general elections, with the belief that it is the
government that is closer to the people on the ground than the national and
provincial governments. The issue of the provision of quality roads in rural
areas of South African still remains a critical challenge.
The issue addressed in this study is the provision of quality roads provided in
Polokwane Municipality. The study focused on the implementation of roads
infrastructure development project in rural areas of South Africa and the
provision of roads in the rural areas of Polokwane Municipality in Capricorn
District, with a special focus on the provision of roads in the rural villages of
Thabakgone, Komaneng, Segopje and Ga-Molepo. The study used data
collection instruments such as interviews, questionnaires and supporting
documents, such as Polokwane Integrated Development Plan and relevant
scientific articles to collect data in the four selected villages. The findings of
the study revealed that the provision of roads infrastructure in the municipality
is of substandard quality, and that the provision of quality roads in the areas is
required.
