Gauteng premier Panyaza Lesufi says the provincial government will assume a “leading role” in filling potholes and tarring roads across the province over the next few months.

Lesufi revealed this in his state of the province address and expounded on it in an interview with SAfm on Tuesday morning.

In Monday's speech, the premier revealed the provincial government had engaged with all of Gauteng's municipalities, except the then DA-run Tshwane and Joburg, on the matter. “All have agreed to partner with [the provincial government] through a memorandum of understanding . Now we are taking over the leading role in making sure that tarring dusty streets in our townships is a priority.

“As the generation that grew up in the dusty streets of our townships, we cannot let our next generation choke on the same unpaved streets due to continued failure of government to catalyse development.”
