Mohembo bridge creates hundreds of jobs

Kgoboko told North West District Councillors on Wednesday that the project commenced on November 8 and will be completed in July 2019. He said the cable-stayed bridge, aesthetically designed to enhance the look of the Okavango Delta, will cost P1, 045, 510, 751, 77 and will be constructed by Italian Joint venture of Cimolai and Itenira companies. He said the first five months, the contractor would mobilise resources.

He further stated that contractually, the contractor would outsource 30% of works to Batswana companies.  “Roads and electrification works are some of the works which have been reserved for citizen contractors,” he stated.
