Dear Minister Barbara Creecy The roads in Gauteng and Mpumapanga are in a state of signicant disrepair. In Springs, we have large potholes which are simply not being fixed. Further the road markings have long faded and there are no markings to guide motorists. This poses a significant danger to roadusers especially in the frequent rains that we are experiencing. We also notice that the road from Persida to Sundra on the R555 is fixed on the Mpumalanga side. As soon as you enter Persida, you see large potholes. the poor state of the roads contribute to the high accident rate in the area. Even emergency personnel complain that the roads are especially dangerous for them as they have to veer through potholes and unlarked roads to get to people in distress. Dear Minister - please fix these roads and prevent innocent lives lost.
My nephew is 6 years old, and he tells me, “Uncle, Aunty Barbara is on TV. She claims to want to protect the lives of people. He asks, does Auntie Barbara Creecy genuinely want to protect the lives of all people or only whites. I ask why he says this. He tells me there are no road surface markings anywhere in Springs in fact when you travel from Delmas to Springs on the back road - R555 you notice road markings all the way through Mpumalanga. As soon as you enter into Persida the road surface markings stop. So, it appears there is conflict between Gauteng and Mpumalanga. But Aunty Barabra Creecy if she is genuinely about saving the lives of motorists - especially now in the festive period must please take steps to ensure that there are road surface markings in the whole of Springs and especially between Persida and Springs on the R555.
