For a long time (many years) our so called CAPITAL city of the NW has been plagued by potholes, rubbish strewn on virtually every street and corner and especially at the various entrances to the town.
Many street lights and traffic lights do not work. On the road from Zeerust we also have street disco lights that seem to flicker on and off throughout the night.
