Nestled quietly at the top of High Street, just before the road becomes North Street at the entrance to the Environmental Centre on the hill, lies a great big beauty of a crater, ready to pounce on any unsuspecting motorist or motorcyclist who may be unaware of the massive cavity in the road surface.
In a previous article pertaining to potholes in Vryheid, Ward 8 Councillor, Magda Viktor, explained that “the CBD area is at the top of the pothole repair priority list, with the busier roads being attended to first…”
So, what then of this perilous gaping abyss at the corner of High and North Streets that has thus far gone unnoticed?

To report potholes to Councillor Viktor, send a photo of the pothole, as well as the nearest street address and your contact details to Magda Viktor on 083 443 0870.
