Ekurhuleni Metro spokesman Themba Gadebe says this manhole needs a cover of a special size.
The metro has ordered one for this manhole, and have in the interim, placed danger tape around it so the manhole is visible to road users.
“Once we receive the cover, we will do the replacement,” he says.
He claims thieves steal the covers.
