The flood-damaged R102 in Compensation, between Tongaat and Ballito in KwaZulu-Natal, has claimed another vehicle.
At the end of April, a police van nosedived into the same hole when concrete barriers to warn motorists the road had caved in were “maliciously removed”.
On Monday DA councillor Yogis Govender told TimesLIVE when the party had engaged with the provincial transport department on multiple issues relating to road repairs over the years, the department did not show a sense of urgency to repair roads and bridges.“What we have seen from the department and the MEC is utterly disappointing. They have failed to make safe and monitor these main arterial routes, especially in Tongaat, despite bringing it to their attention many times.
“Two months later and they have done nothing except note the complaints. With past experience, even fatalities do not spur this unit into any action,” Govender said.
