The road, Nelson Mandela Drive, runs between Polokwane and Seshego township.

Polokwane mayor Makoro John Mpe said it was a work in progress that would be 100% complete in February and handed over thereafter.

"Ours is to make life easy for members of the community, motorists and our taxi associations. We have allocated R243.9 million in the 2024-25 financial year for the construction of this and other infrastructure projects in Polokwane.

The Seshego road project was budgeted at R28 million and work is at an advanced stage," he said.

Residents and the main taxi association had mixed feelings about the project.
