We regularly walked down Sixth Avenue, Northmead, as all the shops are within walking distance; we walk almost every night and afternoon.

She visited a clinic and learnt that she had cracked a rib and a sprained wrist from the incident.
Surely the metro should have removed this dried concrete a long time ago?

The letter was sent to the Ekurhuleni metro for comment.
