It appears there is no concern for the deterioration of the pavements in the CBD area.
Shops depend on feet to keep alive and to be able to continue paying rates and taxes.
Shops provide jobs. However, the landlords/tenants have to continue to operate their businesses under poor maintenance to no maintenance in the CBD.
Can the Ekurhuleni council please comment?
