Woodpecker Street resident Maggi Pretorius claimed she was almost in an accident due to the long grass obscuring her view when turning at an intersection.
Residents also felt the grass provided a hiding place for criminals.
“We have since been allocated resources and the area will be cut in the next two weeks as the contractor is still cutting in the area,” said Dlamini.
“The last cut was done in February.”
