Nothing is done about potholes
I wonder if our municipality is waiting for an accident to happen before these potholes are fixed?

I note that despite our rates and taxes being paid, efforts by various residents as well as our very hard working local DA councillor, Allan Sauls, absolutely nothing is being done about the potholes in our suburb.
Some of these potholes are becoming bigger and bigger and are posing a serious threat to drivers of motor vehicles as well as potential damage to vehicles.Two such potholes are at the top of Eagle Road on a bend.

I wonder if our municipality is waiting for an accident to happen before these potholes are fixed? I also note that the street signs on some roads have been beautifully painted on the road but it appears that this has been done very randomly with some streets being painted and the adjacent ones left as before.
On many of the streets in our suburb the stop signs are totally invisible hence, I assume, many of our motorists do not stop as required by law. A response in this regard by our municipality will be much appreciated.
