R59 closed for now

[Flanders]

Jirre, now that would be an epic accident

*Doesn't notice, skips over trench at 200, straight into brick hanging on string at next overpass*

This is SA...the options are endless.

 

[wizardofid]

now that you mention it, where is all the tar and dolorite that was dug up?

Um that isn't the problem the cop has been photoshopped into the picture, his feet is odd for standing in a trench and then even floating in the air, additionally he doesn't fit in with the general colour of the photo...

Look at the first photo and then at the second photo, you will notice all most flat feet on the ground when the trench has rounded sides.....

 

[infscrtyrisk]

Maybe they were laying fibre?

 

[ForceFate]

Because - If you don't have the knowledge to create, you destroy.

:crylaugh:
You lot are hilarious!

Lordie, where did that come from? I accept my privilege. It's obvious to any rationally minded person, of whom there are a few on this here forum. I had a financially secure and stable upbringing (privilege), so I don't know what you're on about.

I was having a laugh at the 'Whites Only" thread, where the usual KKK supporters were spewing their usual ****e, and pointed out that the cop was white which kinda goes against their narrow minded narrative.

Get it now?

:crylaugh:

He never read the Koffie Act

What is your theory about the destructive tendencies then?

Cutting off their nose to spite their face. Their public transport will obviously also not be able to get to them now

Nevermind VX Land-Cruisers. Taxis go anywhere.

 

[HavocXphere]

At that speed they will probably not even notice the trench in the road. It will sail right over it.

Yup - needs to be much wider.

Found that out when a mate of mine took a shortcut through a township. Hit a fkin 2m wide, 40cm deep donga in the road at like 80. Felt like hitting a brick wall & ruined the front of the car since 2m is enough for the car to actually drop & moer the uphill part of the dip head on.

Township and shortcut does not belong in same sentence.

He was following GPS.

The other time I followed a GPS through a township the vehicle in front of me got robbed while moving lol

...I no longer drive through townships.

It's hilarious that no one has noticed it's a photoshop ?

The last (and only) time I followed GPS through a township, it turned out to be gridlocked and I got to witness the car in front of me roll down their window and calmly empty their family take away rubbish, along with about 9 long tom beer cans, onto their fellow township-dwelling neighbour's front "lawn"...like it aint no thang. What a truly in-****ing-furiating facepalm moment that was. But hey, I knew where I was and felt like still having a pulse come supper time so I said nothing on that fine day.

 

[HavocXphere]

...

Townships are a weird thing.

My mom drove through them quite often. All good.

Me...thus far 100% of my township detours have ended badly

 

[ForceFate]

What is your theory about the destructive tendencies then?

Frustration, helplessness, being taken for granted, being taken advantage of, red tape, arrogance, etc. For many, this is usually a last resort after countless fruitless attempts at resolving issues rationally. They don't wake up one morning craving for blood and destruction

Midvaal Mayor: Almost R1m spent on protecting infrastructure along R59

JOHANNESBURG – Midvaal Mayor Bongani Baloyi says the municipality has already spent almost R1 million on protecting infrastructure along the R59 highway which has been damaged by angry Sicelo residents.

The community is demanding land and houses which they claim Human Settlements MEC Paul Mashatile promised them last year.

Last week, the Mayor called in the red ants to restore calm to the area.

A 32-year-old mentally ill man was beaten to death allegedly by members of the security company.

Sicelo residents dug a one-meter wide trench which stretches over a section of the northbound side on the R59.

Traffic is being redirected resulting in long queues and some impatient motorists making U-turns on the highway.

Not a photoshop, they had a huge tipper truck there this afternoon with tar to fix the road. Now open again.

 

[Compton_effect]

And here we go again. R59 closed in both directions.

 

[Venomous]
