It is with frustration that I read yet another article containing misleading superlatives that are clearly used for effect and not accuracy. In this particular case I am reading “Extra funds needed to maintain city road network” (26 February). The article describes the difficulty of sourcing funding to repair “the city’s crumbling road infrastructure”. Later in the article the journalist refers to “the country’s dilapidated road network”.
I am reading this article as my wife drives us out of the city along the N2, which is currently being widened, towards Wilderness. Already world class, the road to the Garden Route is nevertheless being upgraded in several different spots simultaneously.
