The South African National Roads Agency Limited (Sanral) says the first six months of the Department of Transport’s Vala Zonke campaign had shown some success in providing the public with a single pothole reporting app that can be used on all roads in South Africa, and providing a centralised consolidated view of all reported potholes that enables focused engagements between relevant authorities to fix potholes. However, a massive inter-governmental effort will be needed to overcome the scourge of potholes on a much wider scale, says Sanral spokesperson Vusi Mona.
