When life gives you a pothole, swim in it: Frustrated locals find a new use for issue

In other pothole-related news… A severe pothole has created shock and awe for those residing in the Gauteng area. The corner of Cemetery Road and the Golden Highway has become a victim of a pothole big enough to be used as a swimming pool for the local residents, reported Briefly News.

The opportunity has not been lost on the locals as social media shows them taking full advantage of the natural 'swimming pool'.

Armed with recliner chairs, towels and swimwear, the residents waste no time as they kick back and relax, paying no mind to the clear shortcomings of their roadways, an issue that has been the centre of many complications and problematic situations.
