Running it with his puppet masters, I mean he literally actually looks like a muppet.
Who knows, the roads here are a messI wonder how Bree street is doing?
I try not to think about how the roads look like, I have to dodge enough potholes and sink holes, plus stormwater drains that are overgrown and and and.Does it still look like this?

Bree Street blast: Concept design under way, but actual repair work has not yet begun | News24
The concept design for Lilian Ngoyi Street (formerly Bree Street) is under way after the deadly explosion on 19 July ripped up over 400m of the road and destroyed underground infrastructure.www.news24.com
Mentioned this before, but we had a massive sinkhole in my area last week or so. Repairs began the same day, completed the next day.And somehow it's going to take 18 months to fix

CoJ aiming to repair Bree Street blast damage within 18 months
Last month, a gas explosion on the busy street claimed one life and left over 40 people injured.ewn.co.za
I mean only in SA, other countries 18 days is a stretch.
I stayed in Medellin in Colombia for a month early 2019. One night there was this noise from the road down below (was on the 12th floor). There was a team working at 11pm to fix a pothole before the traffic the next day..And somehow it's going to take 18 months to fix

Not saying the delay for Bree is justified but your one day repair sinkhole sounds like a fairly simple job if it was indeed repaired in one day.Mentioned this before, but we had a massive sinkhole in my area last week or so. Repairs began the same day, completed the next day.
This was a sinkhole that caused underground fuel leaks. It wasn't something simple. Still fixed in under 1 day basically.
This is how things should work. 18 months is pathetic. You know it won't be 18 months either. 2 years from now that road is still going to be unusable.
Welcome to the ANC messing around, they took CoJ from the DA thanks to the smaller parties, so now we suffer.Mentioned this before, but we had a massive sinkhole in my area last week or so. Repairs began the same day, completed the next day.

For sure. I'm not saying they're directly comparable. Bree street obviously a little more complicated. More civils to do. However it's not rocket science.Not saying the delay for Bree is justified but your one day repair sinkhole sounds like a fairly simple job if it was indeed repaired in one day.
So is Bree St.Not saying the delay for Bree is justified but your one day repair sinkhole sounds like a fairly simple job if it was indeed repaired in one day.
And that is Colombia of places, but remember this is Africa and we cannot have any form of Western ethics.I stayed in Medellin in Colombia for a month early 2019.
