Last year in September contractors came in and replaced water pipes along Hill Street, near our offices. Within a week of laying the new pipes there were two eruptions on two corners, the biggest one at the top of Hill, which took out the inside lane of the inbound road to the Randburg CBD, as well as a chunk of the other street of the intersection. Eventually in October it was fixed, but for the rest of last year and half of January this year it remained untarred. Third week Jan it was tarred. Halfway through Feb it collapsed again, same spot, and has now been left since, surrounded by JHB Water barrier tape, leaving traffic chaos every morning. Nor is this the only example of this uselessness. Do they have no staff left over who know how to effect repairs, or what?!
