Origin• Origin in Growth and Development Summit
[GDS] of 2003
• Four themes adopted one of which was ‘More jobs, better jobs, decent work for all’

• The GDS agreed that the EPWP ‘can provide poverty and income relief through temporary work for the unemployed to carry out socially useful activities. The EPWP will be designed to equip participants with a modicum of training and work experience, which should enhance their ability to earn a living in the future.’ The GDS specified that the EPWP must be “large enough to have a substantial impact on employment and social cohesion, especially for young people, women and the rural poor” .
Roads Pavement Forum (RPF)
• “Serves as a forum for the exchange of information and technologies, promoting best practice and to facilitate the discussion of issues of strategic importance to the road construction industry”

• Length of road constructed per year• 82% of roads are older than design life of 20 years, 24% of roads have
reached more than twice design life – Are we in a crisis ?

• More than 36% of road network is heavily congested
• A further 17% should be considered for capacity upgrading, and are congested during peak hours
• Congested roads contributing to maintenance problems (e.g. use of gravel road shoulders) and road safety problems
• Heavily congested roads are generally the older roads which needs rehabilitation
*AADT= Annual averagedaily traffic volume
• Additional R5.4bn to Provinces for up-scaling of EPWP from 2007/08 (PIG).
• Gauteng decision to increase amounts even further from Provincial funding:– 2006/2007 amount from R52m to R170m– 2007/08 amount from R82m to R262m– 2008/09 amount from R103m to R320m– Total R 752m– Further funding bid 09/10 MTEF allocation

Up-scaling of EPWP in Roads
THE CHALLENGETHE CHALLENGE
• Challenges • Backlog on provincial road network – 82% of
network older than design• App 3000km Gravel road – townships • Agreements on appropriate norms, standards,
designs • Resistance to change- innovative contracting
models, materials, construction methods required
• SOSHANGUVE • ATTERIDGEVILLE • MAMELODI • MUNSIEVILLE • SOWETO • SEBOKENG • RATANDA • BOIPATONG • BOPHELONG • SHARPVILLE

• Challenges • Cost for township road less 500 car per day
currently ranging R6m to R10m per kilometre ?• Inexperienced contractors – tender process
and documentation not fully understood• Contractor access to finance, materials,
equipment problematic• Professional site management?• Skills development basket roads industry
RE-DRESSRE-DRESS
Innovation required• Reduce construction costs• New construction methods• Alternative construction materials• Innovative and appropriate pavement design• Research and testing• New contracting models• Appropriate norms and standards for all roads• Consistently applied across all metros/
