Update: Pothole repairs on 10th Road in Kew extended to July 11
JRA regional operations manager Khayalethu Gqibitole said that the repairs, which were initially scheduled for completion by July 4, are now expected to be finalised by July 11.
Gqibitole explained that the delay was due to unexpected issues that arose during the repair process, which temporarily disrupted the workflow. However, he assured that the team has resolved these issues and is now focused on restoring the road to a safe and smooth condition. 'Our team visited the site on July 7 and is making steady progress. While the delay was caused by unforeseen circumstances that temporarily impacted our schedule, we are fully engaged and committed to completing the work by the end of July 11.'

Wanatu denies reports that it was facing auction over R13 million debt
Afrikaans-only e-hailing transport service Wanatu slammed rumours of the business closing due to R13 million debt, calling it misleading and false . "We are aware that false news and misleading information are being circulated about Wanatu. If there is anything important to share, Wanatu will communicate directly with you through our official channels," it said in a social media post. "We appreciate your continued support. We are still fully operational and ready to take you [everywhere]." Wanatu was responding to media reports over the weekend that its cars would be auctioned off as creditors sought to recoup over R13 million in debt. Wanatu was launched in October 2024. Past legal actions against the City of Tshwane were reportedly introduced by Wanatu for impounding its vehicles for not having permits to operate. Wanatu's chief executive assured the public that the company will be "fighting for e-hailing driver rights in court". According to Wanatu, the transportation service aims to "restore dignity in our communities", and offers "job opportunities in Afrikaans", a statement which ruffled some feathers in the X and Facebook communities. After the alleged report on Wanatu's auction, X/Twitter user @UKwaneleMthalan shared that "starting a business that excludes the majority of the demographic is a gamble." They continued to say that "they will continue to learn the hard way."
