“I noted, last week, that the road surface is sinking,” Kayser-Echeozonjuku said. “Residents reported the issue to the City of Johannesburg on December 4, but there has been no response to date.”
She added that she has also formally escalated the matter via email to the acting depot manager at Johannesburg Roads Agency (JRA).
