Residents of the entire Kouga region are unhappy with the deterioration of their roads in recent times.
Potholes have become the norm and gravel roads are not being maintained.

The road infrastructure serving the farming community, which is a major producer of milk and citrus, also leaves a lot to be desired.
“The Democratic Alliance knows that without a properly maintained road infrastructure, the Kouga will battle to attract tourists and investors and will not be in a position to grow the economy and create jobs,” said DA mayoral candidate Elza Van Lingen.
“We are very pleased that Donald Grant, the DA’s Western Cape Minister of Transport and Public Works will be visiting the Kouga this week and will be meeting with various role players, including the business and farming communities,” added Van Lingen.
Grant will be engaging with the agricultural sector and businessmen in Humansdorp at 10 am Friday 8 July at the Humansdorp Boutique Hotel and the topic will be Roads and Transport / provincial and national roads.
All are welcome to attend the meeting.

I would like to send pics of broken,unrepaired poor state of roads here in residential areas of Cape Town which are under DA governance.
When taxes and rates are paid regularly and no services are forthcoming then that that can simply be categorised under “Acts of CURRUPTION”.
