RANDBURG - Across the suburbs, service delivery is slipping, and infrastructure is falling apart.
Roads are buckling under pressure, pavements are crumbling, and Frustration bubbles over.
The city said it has allocated close to R150-million for road infrastructure, but residents say the situation on the ground is yet to improve.
For motorists, it’s a daily battle of navigating damaged roads amid growing frustration.
"It's busy, tough driving at night. It's better during the day because you can see the potholes clearly," one motorist said.
Another said, "The city is failing its residents because now people are paying taxes for these roads to get fixed, but they are not fixed, and even when it's raining. You can't even see the potholes. It's becoming a problem now."
But as complaints continue piling up, the problems don't end there.
Ward 103 councillor, Bea Campbell-Cloete, said road infrastructure is falling apart rapidly.
"I can tell you, driving at night in Ferndale, Randburg, Blairgowrie, even areas of Sandton and Bryanston (is a struggle). It becomes a hazard because you don't know when you are going to be hitting potholes, when it comes to water infrastructure, with multiple bursts in Braynston.
"We just had a weekend with 9 bursts in Robbin Hills. Four in Blairgowrie, which took days, took literally five days to fix with no feedback from the entities. We are sitting with electrical outages in this area in Vine Avenue, there's been no electricity now for six days, and it's going to be six days now, and we just can't get any answers."
