Universitas Ridge resident paints faded stop street markings

Member of Proudly Universitas In Action and resident of Universitas Ridge has resorted to painting the faded stop signs in his suburb himself.

This out of frustration of the failure of Mangaung to do routine maintenance of stop signs and road markings in the area.

This despite constant requests from the Ward committee for maintenance of road markings and stop signs. This is even included as a IDP priority for the ward

He has also taken slowly been improving the park in Niel Van Loggerenberg Crescent by adding equipment, painting equipment and addiding trash bins

The lack of road markings creates unneccesary risks for road accidents in Mangaung. Mangaung has consistently been one of the worst ratios of annual road fatalities per 100 000 population in the past decade
