Potential sinkhole declared safe

Road is safe for vehicles.

The Steve Tshwete Local Municipality has responded to the potential sinkhole threat on Lilian Ngoyi Street, declaring the road safe.

Municipal workers closed a portion of the left-hand lane of the road yesterday morning and excavated the area.

The municipality acted due to a high number of complaints from concerned residents about the deformed area of the road found between McDonald’s and the Oaks Shopping Centre.

A member of the roads department told the Middelburg Observer that there were no issues or potential risks found.
