WASA, TTEC, clamp down on illegal activity

This activity obviously takes place in the dead of the night when most of the country is asleep and the authorities (although on duty) are less responsive.

However, the resultant effect the next day is very obvious when your vehicle passes over the trench. The road is no longer nice and smooth as you have known it and the unexpected jolt could leave you with a serious headache. Not to mention the damaged tyres and suspension because you were not aware of the change to the surface as they are hard to see, even from a short distance.

It bemuses me that the authorities have not clamped down on this illegal activity because it is so obvious the next day that something was done to the road. Some try to hide their nefarious activity by doing a quick patchwork with sand or gravel but it’s soon back to square one. I am calling on the authorities, especially WASA and TTE C, to be more vigilant and clamp down on this activity because a busted pipe carrying water or electricity across the road can have dire consequences for drivers.
