Estelle van der Walt, a Benoni North resident, invited the City Times to witness the shocking state of Dickson Road.

Estelle said: “The road has been like this for over five years. There are massive holes everywhere that your car could fall into.

“I have to regularly change my shocks due to these potholes.

“I have filled these holes with stones, but once it rains and the road is flooded, they could cause serious damage to your car.”
