This has created an impression that the government only takes action only when the community fixes the roads by themselves
On Thursday, 14th October 2021 a group of local businessmen were seen doing road works fixing the famous potholes around Blekwana locality. These SMME’s have taken it upon themselves to fix this part of the R61 as government snail-pace has resulted in many accidents after the recent heavy rains.
Today, The Transport Department was seen dispatching the maintenance team to fix the potholes in Bizana.

The locals are frustrated with the government’s pace in attending to this problem. One Facebook user commented on the group

This has created an impression that the government only takes action only when the community fixes the roads by themselves. It took them less than 24 hours to send these trucks just after the group of local business people started fixing the road on Thursday.
