South Africa's government has stepped up its efforts to tackle the pothole infestation facing the country's roads.
Transport Minister Sindisiwe Chikunga has launched the Vala Zonke War Room, which forms part of the government’s battle against potholes.
“We have reflected on the progress made through the Vala Zonke campaign, observed learnings from the processes and addressed some of the practical challenges. Through this War Room, we are re-affirming government’s commitment to this campaign aimed at eradicating potholes across South Africa’s Road network.”
Sanral CEO Reginald Demana said the company would work with roads agencies on a provincial and municipal level in the war against potholes. “The data captured will be important for Sanral to respond appropriately. For example, if we get recurring potholes in a specific area, that could be a sign that there is a need for a longer lasting solution, perhaps a redesign of the road to ensure that it is suitable to current traffic needs.”
