Gauteng’s Transport MEC Jacob Mamabolo has called on communities to stop burning tyres on the roads during protests.
He says the damage is creating more trouble as the province deals with a road maintenance backlog.
He says his department has made some progress since the start of the smart mobility programme to patch potholes and maintain roads.
“We are really appealing to our people that when they protest, they must not destroy road infrastructure by burning tyres,” the MEC said.
“Remember, the tar is made from chemicals that give in when there’s fire.”
