This has been an ongoing problem and the road surface is now becoming dangerous.

(Johannesburg, 2020-06-24)

The potholes are so bad you can barely drive and there is a risk of accidents and damage to vehicles as well as danger to pedestrians as cars cannot stay on the right side of the road

(Boskruin, 2020-06-24)

#35

The road surface has deteriorated to such an extent that there are currently 170 potholes in the 103-meter road servicing over 200 households. In some places the whole road surface has collapsed.


This is currently unsafe and is causing major damage to vehicles. Cyclists and pedestrians have had serious injuries due to the deteriorated road surface.

We appeal to JRA to resurface Swaeltjie Road as a matter or urgency.

(Boskruin, 2020-06-24)
