The Jetpatcher machine allows for potholes to be quickly filled and without as much difficulty as the typical labour intensive way of filling potholes #RegionEVSDblitz2019 @Sandton_News pic.twitter.com/Pody16nLxF

The mayor said that the majority of the roads in the city needs resurfacing but the City does not have enough budget for that. Mashaba added that patching potholes is the only option at the moment.
MMC for Transport Nonhlanhla Helen Makhuba said the City wants to make all the roads safe for motorists.
Our main Objective is to make the City of Johannesburg a better place for everyone and to build good roads for our motorists.#RegionEVSDblitz2019 @CityofJoburgZA @HermanMashaba @MyJRA @CoJTransport @IFPinParliament pic.twitter.com/49AZUMHCHe
