Matlosana Patches Potholes in Klerksdorp, Jouberton, Kanana, Orkney and Alabama This Week
The statement comes from the municipality's Technical and Infrastructure Directorate, which says its Roads section is actively maintaining roads and upgrading infrastructure throughout Matlosana. Potholes are one of the most common complaints from motorists in the area, so the list below tells residents where to expect crews, cones and lane closures over the next few days.
Which streets are being patched
The municipality listed the following streets for this week's pothole patching, grouped by area:
- Klerksdorp: Freeman Street; the corner of Voortrekker and Desmond Tutu Road; Buffelsdoorn Avenue, Wilkoppies
- Jouberton: Matlosana Drive; Phuthaditshaba Street from Extension 20 to Extension 7; Phuthaditshaba Street, Extension 7
- Kanana: Ramcwana Street; Matsie Street; Mbebane Street; Samuel Mbele Street
- Orkney: Flecker Street
- Alabama: Buitekant Street
Why the work matters
The City says the programme shows its commitment to improved infrastructure and services. The statement does not give a completion date for the individual streets, and it does not say which streets come first in the week.
"Residents and motorists are advised to exercise caution and adhere to signage during the works," the City of Matlosana said in the statement.

What this means for you
If you drive along any of the listed streets this week, slow down, watch for road crews and follow the temporary signs, as lanes may be narrowed while the patching is done. Busy routes such as Voortrekker Road in Klerksdorp and Matlosana Drive in Jouberton may be slower at peak times, so allow a few extra minutes.
If a pothole on your street is not on this list, report it to the municipality through the contact numbers above so it can be added to a future programme.
