[ STORY] Damaged pavement in Senwamokgope left unfixed for over two years.
Between the Department of Public Works, Roads and Infrastructure's Sekgosese Cost Centre and the Greater Letaba Municipality, who must fix the damaged pavement on Senwamokgope Township's main road?
It is alleged that the pavement was damaged during the Mopani District Municipality water reticulation project almost two years ago and, to date, has not been repaired.
The street is the lifeline of the township as it houses the Department of Public Works, Roads and Infrastructure Sekgosese Cost Centre, Department of Education, Department of Social Development, Department of Home Affairs, SASSA, Department of Justice, Sekgosese SAPS and the Greater Letaba Municipality sub-office.
Surprisingly, the damaged pavement is only about 100 metres away from the Sekgosese Cost Centre.
Motorists are bearing the brunt. "Every now and then, we visit fitment centres to replace CV joints and fix tyres," said one motorist who spoke on condition of anonymity.
Residents are now calling for urgent intervention before more vehicles are damaged and an accident occurs.
At the time of posting, efforts to solicit comment from the relevant authorities were underway. .
Who will take responsibility?
