Koraalboom Avenue ditches remain a hurdle

Some motorists in West Acres using Koraalboom Avenue are now forced to take alternative routes due to two ditches that have been there for two years.

This despite the project manager of Independent Development Trust (IDT), responsible for building the alternative entrance to the High Court, promising to find a new subcontractor to complete the job by the end of March.

However, five days after the end of March, Mokgalane is unavailable to confirm whether or not a contractor has been appointed.
