# Transport minister Fikile Mbalula will today monitor progress on South African National Roads Agency project sites in the Eastern Cape. He will be accompanied by the minister in the Presidency, Mondli Gungubele, minister of Public Works and Infrastructure, Patricia De Lille, and the premier Oscar Mabuyane. The department says the visit is spurred by damage which was caused by persistent rains on the R61 national road, where a bridge culvert on the road collapsed, causing it to sag. The ministers will also conduct an oversight visit to emaXesibeni Tsomo Junction on a newly constructed bridge.
