Truck drivers complain about potholes in Havenga Street
Buthelezi said this route has now become a gravel road. He said this road will cost somebody their job, because trucking companies expect deliveries to be on time.
ERMELO – Some truck drivers complained about the potholes in Havenga Road after their tyres had been damaged on May 10.
Msawenkosi Buthelezi, a truck driver, said it was the second time his truck’s tyres had been damaged in Havenga Road. This had also caused him to be late with his deliveries.
Buthelezi said this route has now become a gravel road and will cost somebody their job, because trucking companies expect deliveries to be on time.
Buthelezi had to park next to the road and wait for 12 hours without any assistance, because he did not have any contacts in Ermelo.
Mduduzi Gumbi, another truck driver, said it is difficult to use Havenga Road, because he knows either his truck will be damaged by some potholes, or he will be stuck in traffic because the road users have to reduce their speed to avoid damages.
