CoE spokesperson Themba Gadebe told the NEWS pothole maintenance, patching and rehabilitation of roads in Edenvale are attended to by private contractors and consulting engineers.
“While this occurs internally, CoE teams maintain roads on an ongoing basis.”
Gadebe said external service providers have been brought on board to handle street sweeping, cleaning of gutters and removal of rubble in Edenvale.
“Furthermore, contractors will be increased to cover more areas the internal teams cannot cover in the interim,” said Gadebe.
“It is in this light that we are confident progress with regard to road maintenance will be noticed.”
