I see that they are Chinese contractors. We could be using our own engineers etc. Explains joblessness in south Africa. And because of Beee etc our highly skilled engineers have emigrated to countries where they are appreciated. How sad.
But the qualified artisans engineers technicians are sitting at home due to affirmative action and BEE, do now 28 years of experience is gone 30% pass rate caused this
Well, we shouldn't actually be worrying that the chinese contractors was awarded the project. Skilled engineers in South Africa or have left South Africa. 99% of our guys would have never broke this time frame of getting the job done.This repair is truly record breaking. Well done to the team.
@BrianaMarie-m3w before 1994 we would of South Africa had before 94 very good artisans engineers technicians, I worked for a very big private company They built big massive steelwork for gold mines, whole shaft headgear Gold plant, But after 94 definitely not
We had a similar situation on the n2 toll just before unvoti it took over a year to fix 😂what joke we need these contractors for all bridge repairs but alas they will be pushed aside because of efficiency and cost effectiveness.
This all happened because of evil Mandela bringing in affirmative action causing the qualified artisans engineers technicians from before 1994 sitting at home and due to Bee, this aftermath caused unskilled unqualified previously disadvantaged black people to get the jobs without any experience
Yes, I had to go to Zambia to rescue a project started by the Chinese but became a total disaster, it took another year to remove then replace their mess, causing millions of dollars over budget.
This video is very misleading 🙄 cause the end of the video it says complete. As a resident of Isipingo, this was posted on all local groups , which got us all excited for no reason. For some us our home is 2km from the off ramp yet we sitting for hours
Chinese contractors from the Spagett Junction project, no local content al all, our own engineers are no longer competent, or permitted to work it seems..
The chinese engineers are masters in their work though. Spaghetti junction is a peice of cake for them . I guess they do work on many times the scale we do infrastructure in SA. So I wouldn't be too concerned about the quality of work. Just sad that we don't have the skills
@Nikx012 I agree 💯 about quality But before 1994 white engineering firm were just so good I did my apprenticeship at one, General Erection in Welkom Headquarters in Germiston We built headgear winder house, whole plant's But that is before 1994

Great work! Let us all contribute to the upliftment of this beautiful country, South Africa. God Bless & Keep It Up!
Amazing how quickly repairs can be done when we don't go the BEE route.
If we had the job would take years to complete and probably cost billions
Yes the irony is how they force BEE rules but have to get some Chinese contractor to fix the bridge.
good work....
Well done and thank you
Two years of hell at umhlali n2 bridge . Lots of accidents.These contractors are effecient

The chinese are masters in civil engineering. You just need to land in one of their airports to see this...

Gold plant,
But after 94 definitely not
We need to know who inspected the bridge last and passed it as safe.

OMG, are they using the masters of Tofu Dreg to repair the bridge. If you don't know tofu dreg look it up.

I came home today at 5pm and there was no traffic, are you sure that they didn't complete it?
@adamokuhle9753 I took drive to Toti at 2pm and and the roads was still closed . Hubby came home at 530pm and was stuck
Is it completed really,I saw cars avoiding N2 passingby Toyota road
@@mxolisiclement1767 No

There a a thousand bridges that need maintenance, a job far from the useless mines of the useless anc government
Chinese are masters at civil engineering. All in a days work
