"And our road will be opening soon, as we're talking, it's tearing. The sinkhole guys, it's very deep. We need to warn the people," said the woman.
The woman added that she took the video on 14 September on Rondoval Road.
This is not the first time Boksburg has been plagued with a large sinkhole. In April this year, a 10-metre sinkhole opened up in the Angelo informal settlement in Boskburg. According to EWN, the sinkhole started as a small hole after heavy rains in December 2022, which later grew.
Residents in the area had to be relocated since authorities cornered off about two kilometres surrounding the hole.

Woman stressed her house might get robbed following large sinkhole
Briefly News previously reported that residents on Burger Street in Lyttleton Manor, Centurion, woke up to the shock of their lives when a four-metre sinkhole suddenly developed overnight.
One woman, Chiraag Simão, described the scene as something from the Jumanji game. Simão's home was one of the worst affected homes on the street. She lost her front yard, fence and wall.
Simão and her family were evacuated from the house, but she says she would have rather stayed at home out of fear of becoming a burglary victim.
