State of roads in rural former Transkei leaves motorist fearful

My plea to the Eastern Cape provincial government is that they must tar the road between Whittlesea and villages around this small, one-street town.

Whenever I visit the Eastern Cape, I always get worried for my cars because the road, for example, from Sada to Mbekweni village, leaves our vehicles badly damaged.

That stretch has so many sharp corrugations that when you finally make it to your destination, the first thing you always do is to fearfully inspect your vehicle for damage.

I now call upon the honourable premier Oscar Mabuyane to intervene by constructing a tarred road like the roads that were made by the Matanzimas in the former Transkei homeland. Fortunately the premier comes from the former Transkei and so he will be familiar with what I am talking about.
