Traffic is still a huge headache on Christiaan de Wet Street
If you don't have to travel on Christiaan de Wet Street near Laerskool Kragbron and HTS Witbank, don't.
A section of the road has been closed to facilitate the construction of the Klarinet and Siyanqoba Bulk Water Supply Phase 2 Project.
This project is long overdue due to several hiccups the contractor did not foresee when the project started.
Blasting had to be done in the suburb to break some of the hard rock that posed a huge challenge for the crew.
However, progress is made, and the team is on site, hard at work to finish.

Streetlights out in Morningside Manor
In Morningside Manor, the lights are going out, and so is the patience of residents. The streetlight outages have persisted for months, and only a few have been partially restored. According to Ward 109 councillor Lori Coogan, the problem goes beyond faulty lighting; it's rooted in financial mismanagement, poor coordination, and outdated infrastructure. Also read: Bumpy ride on 9th Road, even though potholes were repaired 'Eskom has been disconnecting power boxes that are linked to City Power-operated streetlights, because City Power owes Eskom a large debt, and although they are reportedly paying it back through a structured plan, that has not stopped Eskom from pulling the plug, literally.' She added that Elza Lane, most of Lynton Road, and Judy Crescent have seen some lights return. But others, including Ridgeway Drive and sections of Lynton Road near Murray Avenue, remain in the dark. 'This is not just a local problem. Wendywood Clinic is still running daily on a generator. These are signs of a bigger issue, that City Power, the Health Department, and Eskom need better coordination, especially in Eskom-powered zones.'

Open trench causes concern on Parkwood corner
A large trench has been left open on the corner of Swansea and Denbigh roads in Parkwood, raising safety concerns among residents. The excavation, which appears to be linked to underground pipework, is marked only by red-and-white hazard tape, and has been left exposed with no visible signage or workers on site. Bright blue piping can be seen running through the hole, along with scattered debris and uneven ground around the area. The trench is situated along a quiet residential road frequented by cars, pedestrians, and residents walking their pets. Also read: Sewer pipe replacement project will be completed With limited barriers in place, there is growing concern that the site could pose a risk, particularly at night or in poor lighting conditions. Johannesburg Water will be contacted for comment, and this article will be updated with their response.
