"Standerton is also worse! I saw they’re constructing a new road.. let’s hope it won’t take 28 years like the route from Volkrust to Bulfour .. I was in matric when they started that road.. I’m on my 4th car and they’re still fixing the road."

“Cuts like knife”: Peeps mourn loss of tires, rims and sanity thanks to potholes
In more road news, Briefly News previously reported that if you live in Mzansi, then you know the fear that runs through your body as you approach a pothole you never saw coming and can’t stop in time for.
The state of the roads in South Africa is a situation that no words can explain. Some potholes can actually consume your entire vehicle!
A social media user who goes by the handle @SavageMaveriick shared a snap of Vin Diesel and a pothole, depicting what he feels when hitting one of Mzansi’s infamous road decorations.
“When you see a pothole but it's already too late…”
The people of Mzansi express their pain
If you drive a car, or even if you don’t, you know the shock one goes through in this situation… your ancestors even feel it!
Peeps took to the comment section of the post to share the PTSD (post-traumatic stress disorder) they now suffer as a result of Mzansi potholes. They also bid farewell to car parts lost in the tragedies.
Take a look at some of the hilarious comments
