Unacceptable! One of the most used roadways in Tzaneen, the Agatha Road near the new industrial area, is dangerously close to collapsing. Bulletin paid the site a visit on Thursday morning and what we saw was terrifying. Since our last visit at that site in March, the section beneath the road surface has shown significant signs of deterioration. Five months ago, only one of the galvanised culverts beneath the tarmac was visible. This week, both were prominent. The soil upon which the road rests has washed away causing a very deep and treacherous ditch to form beside it. That ditch is now slowly eating away at the tarmac. It is a very similar situation to that which caused the complete collapse of the R528 road through Georges Valley. The reparations of which took half a year to complete and cost the taxpayer many millions. Agatha Road is used daily to commute between Tzaneen and the new industrial area. Learner-drivers us this route during their driving lessons. This site was the cause of a major accident in September last year which tragically claimed the lives

of Francois Erasmus, his son Danré, and a family friend, Mike Hawken. The GTM claims that the erosion is caused by rain and have yet to admit the extreme danger they are placing their citizens in through their absolute disregard of these warnings. Their ignorance contravenes the Municipal Act and breaches the constitutional rights of every member of the Tzaneen community. We have brought the matter under the attention of Neville Ndlala, spokesperson for the GTM, on numerous occasions in the past, but to date, that correspondence has led to absolutely no reaction from the municipality. Shockingly - to remedy the situation - the GTM poured a line of tar around the hole and placed green plastic bags filled with sand on its edges so as to prevent motorists from driving too close to the dangerously eroded fringe. That eroded fringe - has now crept in under that tar barrier and is eating away at the soil beneath the carriageway. It is
Agatha Road near the new industrial area is rapidly deteriorating. The GTM is however not showing any real interest in remedying the situation either. Watch a video of the erosion at this site on our website at www.bulletin.us.com.
