Media personality Anele Mdoda is fuming after a pothole damaged two of her tyres while she was driving to work.
Mdoda took to social media to call out Transport Minister Fikile Mbalula and challenged him to take responsibility for numerous potholes on the roads.
Anele wrote: “Pothole just took out two of my tyres. This is getting annoying, I won’t lie.”

She narrated how she had to duck and dive on the road as she was trying to avoid the potholes. In the process, she damaged her tyres.
Mohale Motaung and others responded and shared their experiences. Mohale shared that he was forced to buy a brand-new set of tyres after he hit the potholes on Sandton Drive recently.
I’ve hit them twice, and on both occasions – I had to get new tyres. I hate them ! 😭

Dear Honorable @MbalulaFikile.
I must say, I agree with @Anele. I have just hit a pothole on my way to an important meeting. Now I’m here, at the red zone of hijacks and robbery all by myself, waiting for an insurance agent.
This is heartbreaking to say least. ???? pic.twitter.com/S9VnkTLVLd

Late in 2021, news of a huge pothole in Everton, the Vaal trended as many people expressed their shock after a picture of the “largest pothole” was turned into a swimming pool by the residents.
Earlier this month, an elderly man from Albertsville near Randburg rode into a pothole so deep his car had to be taken out by emergency services. The pothole had been there for months unattended before the old man plunged into it.
There’s a road in Bryanston which is an obstacle course of potholes. We literally have to wait for one another to pass! Then those double story craters in Cosmo city. Yir! Let’s not forget @JHBWater opened holes everywhere. @CityofJoburgZA is falling apart! @MyJRA on holiday!
