Mzansi calls on Fikile Mbalula to answer for the heartbreaking state of roads and railways

In another case where the minister of transport was called out for the same issue, Briefly News reported that South African politician Fikile Mbalula, was put in the spotlight after clips and snaps of poorly kept railways and roads went viral.

The state of Mzansi's roads and railways is sad and people are screaming for help. Social media has been buzzing with pictures and clips of the destitute railways and destroyed roads in SA, calling on Mbalula to put his money where his mouth is.

Trains have become giant pot plants for weeds. Roads have potholes big enough to fill and use as a local swimming pool. Old train stations are covered in litter and have become hideouts for locals dealing drugs and alcohol.
