Bester Street in Mbombela temporarily closed

The Bester Street closure is due to a sinkhole caused by a burst water pipe.

The sinkhole on the corner of Bester and Henshall streets was caused by a burst water pipe on Friday, January 17.

According to the spokesperson for Silulumanzi, Richmond Jele, it was necessary to dig up that section of the road to repair a burst pipe.

Bester and Henshall streets will be closed until the sinkhole has been repaired. A construction company has been appointed to repair the damaged road and was expected to be on site on Monday, January 20.

“The work is expected to take two days to complete. We would like to apologise for the inconvenience caused and urge motorists to use alternative roads during this time,” Jele said.
