Discontent is mounting along Kudu Avenue as residents criticise the City’s approach to a recent pavement upgrade.

Complaints range from disruptive water outages and substandard workmanship to concerns over drainage issues and lack of community engagement.

Residents report that the City crews began work more than a month ago, in the middle of Kudu Avenue, the only road undergoing upgrades. No prior consultation occurred, and early into the project, a digger loader struck a main water pipe, leaving locals without water for four hours.

"The pavement is flat, at the same level as the road, it looks like the project wasn’t planned properly,” said resident Michael Liebenberg.
