From hills to hope

According to Xu Xishuai, the commercial manager of Kopano Ke Matla, more than 99 percent of the skilled workforce is locally hired, creating over 1,800 jobs since the company's involvement.

"The project has improved local infrastructure, provided employment, and passed on essential vocational skills. It is more than just tunnel construction," Xu said.

While the project is still underway, its benefits are already evident. Regional transport services have expanded. A significant portion of engineers, subcontractors and suppliers are local. And the use of local construction materials and catering services has kept spending within the community, reinforcing the project's positive community impact.
