Small South African town losing thousands of jobs as its roads fall apart
- The small South African town of Dullstroom is indeed losing thousands of jobs due to its deteriorating roads, threatening the town's tourism sector.
- The town's roads have fallen into disrepair due to an influx of heavy freight trucks transporting chrome from Limpopo, which have resorted to diverting along these routes to avoid toll fees.
- Residents of Dullstroom have taken SANRAL to court to enforce a reduced speed limit on trucks entering the town, and have also taken it upon themselves to maintain the town's infrastructure, but express concerns over the sustainability of these efforts without municipal support.
