Crater City: Episode 4: The Perils of Potholes

Loading player...
While motorists navigate around dangerous potholes littered across Joburg, the crisis has now taken a deadly turn, re-igniting calls for REAL action to fix the ongoing problem.

A motorbike delivery driver lost his life in a crash believed to have been caused by a pothole.

The driver was killed in North Riding on Blandford road, which has been riddled with potholes for weeks, if not months.

Officials say the bike was behind a car, which slowed down to avoid a pothole and the bike then clipped the rear end of that vehicle.

Tragically, the bike then collided with another car travelling in the opposite direction.
