Ladysmith residents have been complaining for a while about the many potholes that are dotted around town.
With this in mind, the local municipality has already started implementing what they call ‘Plan B’.
“Our area experienced a high percentage of rainfall this year that has created a number of road failures due to water ingress (infiltration). We are currently implementing Plan B (adding resources) that will assist in reducing the backlog quicker,” stated Siyabonga Maphalala, spokesperson for Alfred Duma Local Municipality.

“There are some improvements, but there is still a long way to go,” one motorist stated.
