- A huge pothole in Douglasdale was ignored for three years before finally being fixed.
- The damage was caused by a burst steel pipe that went unrepaired for an extended period.
- Helen Zille's video of swimming in the water-filled pothole prompted immediate action from city officials.
- The Johannesburg Road Agency will resurface the affected road with tar to complete the repairs.
Officials who have attempted to fix the pothole come at night, so they can claim overtime, and then it is vandalised and needs more money for repairs.— Helen Zille; from the video in which she swims in the pothole.
