Poor road access to KwaZulu-Natal, in neighbouring South Africa, has inhibited economic development in the south-east of the Kingdom of Lesotho. The road to Sani Pass fulfilled an important international trade, service and tourism function but was only accessible to all-terrain vehicles.
Neither challenging terrain nor extreme weather conditions could stop the project team from delivering a new road that will stimulate tourism, as well as general economic upliftment on both sides of the border.
The fruition of the project vision is a new bitumen standard road between Mokhotlong and the Lesotho border post at Sani Pass that provides all-weather access to the general public in standard vehicles.
