Overgrown grass and weeds along traffic islands and verges as well as tree branches blocking road signs have become the scenery for Nelson Mandela Bay motorists travelling past most of the more than 1,500 open spaces in the metro.
While the Nelson Mandela Bay municipality cites old asbestos pipes as the root cause of constant leaks in Mosel in Kariega, residents have rightly questioned the efficiency and timeliness of the metro’s response.
Frustrated Mosel residents in Kariega say the Bay municipality’s negligence is turning their once-tidy suburb into an eyesore with trenches left open on nearly every corner.
