“We currently have personnel on the ground attending to potholes across the city. The campaign has gained momentum, thanks to the financial injection of R285m for pothole repairs.
“While we have identified the roads the team will target, we also urge residents to report potholes in their areas,” he said.
Ngobese further requested motorists to be patient when they encounter city officials working on the roads to patch potholes.
