The Eswatini Roads Authority (ERA), the public institution responsible for planning, building, rehabilitating and maintaining national roads, has appointed Ndabenhle Nxumalo as chief executive officer and Makhosazana Dlamini-Ginindza as chief financial officer, according to the Times of Eswatini. The Minister of Public Works and Transport, Chief Ndlaluhlaza Ndwandwe, introduced the two officials on 30 October.
The minister asked the new chief executive officer to ensure road planning, compliance with construction standards, timely maintenance, contract transparency and road safety. He also called for roads and bridges to be designed to withstand the effects of climate change.
Chief Ndwandwe asked Makhosazana Dlamini-Ginindza to manage resources allocated to road infrastructure rigorously. He wants the user-pays funding principle to win public confidence through visible results, including lower vehicle operating costs, according to the Times of Eswatini. The ERA was established under the 2023 Roads Authority Act as part of a reform of the management and financing of the road network.
