Gatvol? Maak asseblief net die gat vol!

Residents of this beautiful city and its surrounds have reached boiling point.

Are you one of them? Are you also tired of potholes popping up like mushrooms, constant power outages, water issues, unkempt grass, littering or inadequate healthcare services? So are we. It’s time to raise your voice.

Recognising the urgency of the matter, Lowvelder is, with grave concern, excited to announce the launch of its Gatvol Campaign, a dedicated platform for our readers to voice their frustrations about service delivery issues.

The Gatvol Campaign is here to amplify your voice. We believe in the power of community and the importance of addressing these critical issues that affect our daily lives.

This initiative aims to provide a space for community members to share their gatvolness about the challenges they face daily.
Like potholes, which have become a significant issue for residents, drivers and business owners alike. These craters on roads like Enos Mabuza, Samora Machel and many more not only pose a risk to vehicles but also create dangerous conditions for motorists, cyclists and pedestrians.

Your feedback is invaluable in highlighting the areas that need immediate attention and improvement.

By voicing your frustrations, you are not only raising awareness, but also contributing to potential solutions. Don’t let your frustrations go unheard. Join the Gatvol Campaign today and be the change you want to see.
