Siyanqoba residents cry out for gravel road repairs
Residents in Siyanqoba are fed up with the municipality's inaction towards fixing the gravel roads, hindering them from accessing a number of services as vehicles struggle to pass through. The ward 12 residents from Yellow Bone complain that it all started during heavy rains experienced early this year, which flooded their gravel roads not far from their yards, causing serious damage to the roads, as there have been big holes that require urgent intervention. 'We have been reporting the issue, but it's so sad to see that not much is being done about it,' the residents cried, adding that they are no longer able to receive services such as waste collection due to the terrible state of their road. 'The waste collection workers told us that they won't collect waste until the roads are fixed,' they said. The residents claimed that road workers came to fix the road, but only the section in the public eye received attention, and for their street, the condition still remains the same. Their great concern is how the situation poses a danger to both pedestrians and motorists at night, especially with the lack of streetlights. As if that wasn't enough, the community went on to complain about the irregular supply of water in their area, as they claim that the person responsible for the pump doesn't operate it as he is expected to, leaving residents without water for weeks. Ward Councillor Lucky Tolo, explained that the biggest issue that they are facing is that they are not fully capacitated when it comes to the equipment needed to fix the road. 'We got a team who attended to the road two weeks ago, but they couldn't finish up as they were then called to an emergency in another area,' he said, adding that he will check with the team to find out when they will be going back to finish up the work. WITBANK NEWS reached out to the municipality on the matter, but there has been was no response yet.
