Following yesterday’s rejoicing over the fixed Tatham, Union and Karelandman Streets traffic lights, the jubilation was quickly replaced by irritation.

The traffic lights were fixed at about 1.30pm by contractors from Durban hired by the Provincial Transport Department.  However, by 6.3opm the lights were back to their old tricks and were just flashing red.

Mr Bester said he had spoken this morning to the director of Zama Traffic Signals, the contractors, who promised to back tomorrow to fix said lights………..
