Opinion: What are you and I going to do about the terrible state of Johannesburg roads, exposed by heavy rains? potholes Click here for more details➡️
What are you and I going to do about the terrible state of Johannesburg roads, exposed by heavy rains? Apocalyptic predictions received a double boost on Monday.
Having been in the JRA hot seat for three months, Tshepo Mahanuke can’t be blamed for all potholes and degradation. But he is ill-equipped to fix all this. There have long been allegations of corruption in JRA, whose annual budget is R1.7 billion. In March, rock star Rod Stewart organised a do-it-yourself pothole repair in his hometown Harlow in Essex, attracting mixed reviews. Back in Joburg, some residents’ associations have been doing similar work, after trying official channels for months.
Previously, JW and JRA had a fairly cooperative arrangement. Depending on the nature of the job, JW would backfill with soil either immediately or after a day or two of waiting to check whether a repair might leak again.After a week or so, JRA would then neatly seal the surface with asphalt However, in recent years JRA have stopped this. There have been disputes about which entity would pay and JRA have not always been quick to issue wayleaves.
