The reason your roads have so many potholes is because where you live likely has too much road infrastructure to support relative to the amount of taxes collected to maintain said infrastructure.
In other words, it's insolvent.
It's corruption not lack of money that's the cause of the piss poor infrastructure in Johannesburg. Out of the three cities I've been to in SA it's the only one that straight up doesn't maintain anything.
