Watch Scrolla’s daily video where we explore Boksburg’s dangerous sinkhole crisis, pension increases, heavy rain causing flooding, and Siya Kolisi’s divorce.
A big sinkhole on Rondebult Road in Boksburg has been causing problems for nearly two years and the City of Ekurhuleni is finding it hard to fix it.
The road has been closed since the sinkhole appeared, and it’s getting bigger. The problem started when illegal miners dug up old mine shafts in the area. There are now many sinkholes, including one inside a factory. A nearby housing project has been stopped because it’s too dangerous to build.
The closed road is causing lots of traffic problems. Many people use this road to get to the hospital, airport, and industrial area. Now they must sit in traffic or take longer routes.
