EDITOR – My brand new tyres have been damaged because of the potholes.

On September 8, I reported a pothole near Marble Classic at 16 Plane Road, Spartan to the CoE call centre on Twitter.

It is close to Kelvin Power Station and may become a sinkhole very soon with the rains.

I have sent several messages and they are ignoring me.

On the same day, I reported another pothole on Newton Road to the call centre on Twitter and received a reference number.

This particular pothole is getting worse and the holes are getting bigger. I have sent several messages and they are ignoring me.

There are several potholes on Parkland Road as well as a small one, but starting to get worse, going to Zuurfontein Road.

Then there is another one going towards Parkland Road on Zuurfontein Road.

My colleagues tell me there is also a huge pothole at the bridge when you drive towards the airport and Kempton Park.

This is not fair to road users. What is the City of Ekurhuleni doing?
