Early-Stage Execution & Operational Agility
With 25% of the project timeline elapsed, the site team has successfully completed all preliminary phases. Site clearing, VIP toilet connection, and security services are fully active. The early implementation of OH&S measures — signage, barricading with net covering, and PPE supply — underscores a commitment to safe operations ahead of the main construction push.
To mitigate the delayed arrival of the designated Site Agent (expected 9th March 2026), Project Manager Phakamani Chauke will directly oversee the site during the transition week of 2–6 March, ensuring uninterrupted progress.

- VIP toilet fully connected on site.
