5 Men repair over 400 potholes in the Senekal and Matwabeng community
In a previous story, Briefly News published that Leigh-Ann Henderson van Rensburg shared an amazing story about how just five men have repaired over 400 potholes in the Senekal and Matwabeng areas.
This came about after the community decided that they needed to take matters into their own hands and revitalise their towns.
Community volunteers started tidying gardens, repainted road markings, cleaned up areas and repaired potholes. Leigh-Ann shared a pic of five men who have been responsible for repairing over 400 potholes.
