Black uselessness: This app was supposed to help fix potholes in South Africa – but officials are still l earning how to use it

[So now we have apps to help the worthless Blacks to fix the potholes … but even that doesn't really help. Welcome to Africa. Note: At the source link below, if you click on it and go there, you'll see, per province, how much money they are spending on fixing potholes and what they are managing to fix. I had a family member who invented his own little machine to fix potholes. Fixing potholes would be easy as pie for Whites if we had to do it. These Blacks are so freaking worthless. Jan]
The National Department of Transport (DoT) launched Operation Vala Zonke – a National Public Pothole Reporting App – last year to help identify and locate potholes across the country that need to be fixed. However, officials still don’t know how to use the system, and training is still underway.
Additionally, while the DoT has spent in excess of R3.65 billion over the last six months repairing the country’s crumbling roads, Transport Minister Sindisiwe Chikunga showed that the department has grossly underspent its budget for road repairs.
These issues were highlighted by the Minister of Transport in written replies to recent parliamentary Q&As.
The Minister and Members of the Executive Council (MINMEC) adopted the intervention plan to fight against potholes and general road refurbishment and improvement that triggered the launch of Operation Vala Zonke in August 2022.
Chikunga noted that the SANRAL Transport Integrated Information System (ITIS) was availed to all Road Authorities for the provision of Centralised Repository and Asset Management Services with a Mobile Pothole Reporting App that enables the public to report potholes wherever they are encountered.
She added that the plan envisaged to have a central platform, using an automated system to (a) allocate a complaint, (b) track progress, (c) identify and resolve delays, (d) intervene (provide support) to address service delivery and (e) provide feedback to the public using the app.
According to the minister, since the launch of the app, there have been 138,928 downloads, with roughly 44,949 potholes reported as per the National System as of 7 November 2023.
Chikunga further noted that Gauteng tops the table with a total of 20,220 potholes reported, followed by Free State with 7,067, whereas Northern Cape reported 464 at the bottom of the table.
However, she added that little has been done using the App because municipal and department officials aren’t trained to use the new system. This is over a year after the app was launched.
“The biggest challenge is that most pothole complaints cannot be correctly and automatically allocated using the system.
“It is on this basis that SANRAL is currently training officials from Provinces and Municipalities on the usage of the App under the theme “Train the Trainer,” said Chikunga.
Underspending
Despite the issues of the App, the DoT has indeed spent billions on fixing roads, but it has grossly underspent its budget, meaning little is being done to fix and maintain road infrastructure, including fixing potholes.
In a separate parliamentary Q&A, Chikunga noted that her department has spent in excess of R3.65 billion over the last six months ending September, repairing the country’s crumbling roads.
She added the number of potholes on roads that fell under her administration repaired in each province in the past six months amounted to 1,291,442m², the bulk of the patching happening in KwaZulu-Natal.
Despite billions being spent, however, the R3.65 billion is only roughly 29% of the total Provincial Roads Maintenance Grant of R12,665,440,753.
Per province, the six-month expenditure on road repairs and the area of roads that were restored were:
White South African Murders page: Murders of Whites from 1996 to 2016
On this page, are collections of the names and details of Whites who were murdered during the period 1996 to 2016. The true number of Whites killed in South Africa since 1994, is stupendous, and nobody has got even a fraction of all the names. But this is the most comprehensive collection that the Boere State Party has currently. My own attorney told me that he thinks 100,000 Whites have been murdered during Black rule.
Video: WW3: The Stupid World War: Where even the weakest Whites stand a chance
I discuss the future and the possibility of Nuclear Wars. I look closely at China as a future threat to America and Whites. I also look at what Russias possible future might be. Can we expect intensive fighting like in WW2 or does the future hold other possibilities. If so, what?
2005: Russia to ban ALL Jewish groups?
I published this on AfricanCrisis back then in my early years when I was stupidly pro-Jewish. Clearly the Russians never went on to do this. I wonder why?
