SUMMARY

Speak to any Joburger these days, and they will tell you how the city’s roads have fallen into disrepair with potholes. The Metro’s hot seat has changed hands a number of times in recent years between the ANC and DA (and their respective coalitions), with newly-elected mayor Thapelo Amad now also facing a vote of no confidence. All the while, basic infrastructure continues to be neglected.

That’s why Joburgers Fletcher Mhlongo and Guy Schoeman (not their real names) have joined a band of disgruntled residents who wanted to make a statement. They have taken to the streets with a spray can and a mission – to highlight the shabby state of the roads in their neighbourhoods, but also with a clear sentiment of who they believe is to blame.
