The branch braved the freezing temperatures last week to fill enormous potholes in the area. The team used a total of 1,25 tonnes of tar to repair 16 large potholes in Hartshorne, Reid, Honiball and Clarke street.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe know that well-maintained roads are essential for the safety of the community, which is why this branch braved the cold to ensure that these potholes were filled,\u201d says Jurie Ferreira, AfriForum\u2019s District Coordinator for the East Rand. \u201cThis is yet another example of what can be done when communities work together to make a difference.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ferreira says it is only through the support and active participation of AfriForum\u2019s members that this branch is able to make such significant contributions to the area. \u201cWe encourage the community to become part of AfriForum\u2019s Benoni branch and work together to make even more projects like this possible. We will continue to serve our communities and launch the necessary projects to ensure a better future for everyone,\u201d adds Ferreira.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Visit <a
