Msunduzi municipal employees were out in full force on Thursday, repairing dangerous, gaping pavements in several parts of the city. Damaged or missing pavement slabs along Chief Albert Luthuli, Chief Mhlabunzima and Peter Kerchoff Streets were replaced with new ones as part of the municipality’s broader programme to improve pedestrian safety. According to the city, the roads team is currently undertaking walkway repairs across Pietermaritzburg as part of its ongoing road-maintenance efforts.
The work comes as Msunduzi continues to face mounting pressure over the deteriorating state of its road network. Potholes, uneven surfaces and aging pavements have become common concerns for motorists and pedestrians alike, with many residents calling for more consistent maintenance and faster turnaround times on repairs. The municipality has acknowledged these challenges and says the current pavement-repair drive is one of several initiatives aimed at addressing long-standing infrastructure backlogs and improving mobility throughout the city.
