  • Motorists are being urged to contact the department of transport and claim the damages to their vehicles caused by the roads and potholes in South Africa
  • The national government is aware of the dangerous road conditions across the country which has resulted in them announcing a R22billion budget over the next three years on a countrywide pothole repair program.
  • This program is expected to create over 70 000 jobs in its first year. It aims to improve the road conditions of any road (highways, toll-roads and suburban roads) and repair any potholes which have been causing damage to motorist’s vehicles. Depending on how much the roads get used, the rainfall and the weather conditions can all cause the potholes to get larger and have an impact on the condition of the roads.

  • The roads in Gauteng have been under serious scrutiny. In recent media reports, it was identified that, in a space of six years, the amount of roads considered to be in a poor to very poor condition had increased from 20-46%. This deterioration has led the Johannesburg Roads Agency (JRA) to roll out a 'road rehabilitation campaign' which aims to address and repair 12 703 potholes and 37 545 patchings and clearings.
