Let communities maintain the roads

We should do what they do in India:  allocate stretches of the road to local communities to maintain at a fixed cost per year (not per pothole because that would create an incentive to enlarge the problem). They would be given the sand and stone required, and every day they would inspect the condition of the road to make the necessary repairs.

The above is a most interesting proposal from Clem Sunter, futurist, public speaker and author of several books.

• How about the Kouga municipaltity taking the initiative with such a project in Jeffreys Bay, Ocean View, Aston Bay, Tokyo Sexwale, Hankie, Pellsrus, Loerie, wherever -- simultaneously creating work for a large number of unemployed people?  Mayor Robbie Dennis may consider the feasibility of it.
