Breaking local news in Boksburg
This February marks two years since the section of Rondebult Road in Comet was closed as a precautionary measure after two massive sinkholes opened up in the area.
There are still questions about whether the government would ever start repair work, or at least find a solution to the ever-growing problems emanating from the prolonged road closure. Tshivhenga, who late last year conducted an oversight visit to the site of the sinkholes and promised to use her position to engage the other parties to expedite the rehabilitation process, said the city has been battling to get key stakeholders to come on board.
This would include but not be limited to geological, structural, environmental and traffic management studies that will be integrated to formulate a viable solution for repairs to the road. Given the limited engagement from other national and provincial departments, the office of the speaker said it had on November 22 formally requested the Ekurhuleni Mayor Doctor Xhakaza to address the sinkhole issue in the executive war room.The new information, however, runs counter to the city manager Dr Imogen Mashazi's recent remarks.
