The huge pothole in Boom Street, which Barberton Times wrote about in our issue of May 7, has deteriorated even further.
On May 2, Lucas Venter drove into the hole with his car and had to be towed out. Workers of Umjindi Municipality then cordoned off the road with a boom gate of sorts and several cement blocks to prevent a repeat of the incident.
