Urgent Call to Action: Save Boterekwa Road Before Disaster Strikes
The state of Boterekwa Road is a tragedy waiting to happen. Despite the immense wealth being extracted from the region’s rich resources, the companies mining there have failed to uphold their corporate social responsibility to maintain this vital road. This negligence has left the road in a precarious and dangerous condition, with potholes, uneven surfaces, and increased risk for all who use it.
We urge the relevant authorities to act immediately before another national disaster occurs. The situation calls for the following measures as a matter of urgency:
- Corporate Responsibility: Mining companies must take immediate steps to repair and maintain the road, as their heavy trucks and equipment are significantly contributing to its degradation.
- Mobilization of Funds: Authorities should allocate funds for road repairs, including the introduction of a toll gate to ensure sustainable maintenance for all users.
- Temporary Closure: Consider temporarily closing the road to allow for comprehensive repairs and to prevent further loss of life.
Boterekwa Road has become a death trap, ⚰️and action must be taken Now to safeguard lives. Let us not wait until lives are lost to address this preventable disaster.✊🏿✊🏿✊🏿
