A Morninghill resident came to the assistance of an Ekurhuleni employee this morning after the wheel of the van he was driving, became lodged in a pothole in the suburb.

According to Ward 20 Clr Jill Humphreys, the resident towed the Ekurhuleni driver out of the pothole.

She added that the pothole was previously reported to council.

“This is a poetic irony that an Ekurhuleni service delivery van fell into the pothole which was previously reported to the council,” Clr Jill Humphreys.
