The Roads Authority (RA) Chief Executive Officer is not impressed with the slow progress on the Engoyi-Omuntele road upgrade.

The road construction commenced in October last year and was to be completed by September this year.

One of the notable promotions is that of Deputy Commissioner Petrus Swartz, who has been promoted to the rank of Commissioner and appointed as the head of the Traffic Law Enforcement Directorate.
