Wasn't sure where to post this, but have spent the last 15 days in Cape Town and the surrounds. Was based at Helderberg Village in Somerset West and was moving my parents from there to a frail care operation in Pinelands so drove extensively around towns and through all the suburbs around Pinelands, went through to the CBD but via back roads and I must say it was an absolute pleasure to drive on the roads in and around the suburbs - no pot holes. The only places where I say signs of pot holes seemed to be around Claremont on the lower side near the railway lines and where there was high taxi usage. Came back last night to an absolute nightmare of a road from Lanseria to my place in Randparkridge. These jokers in charge of Joburg have no concept of maintenance and repairs to the road system or to service delivery. Maybe the city councillors needs to change their slogan for something more appropriate and on the lines "Joburg an African city in distress"
Thought I would just share my experiences with forumites. Would I move to CT - definitely not - Gauteng has the best climate possible
