Lack of service delivery raises concern
Polokwane Observer
|August 28, 2025
The standard of service delivery in most wards of Polokwane Municipality, particularly ward 23, is a source of growing frustration among residents.
According to the DA councillor for the ward, gravel roads in Soetdorings/Doornbult have not been graded for the past two years.
“The rain during the first part of January turned these roads into rivers, destroying large sections. Some residents were stranded and unable to get to work for days. People spent thousands of rands repairing sections of road just to reach their workplaces again,” Lourens stated. He added that one farmer's house and flat were flooded after rainwater from the road flowed toward the Sand River.
Lourens confirmed that he escalated complaints to the relevant heads of department, but to no avail.
