“EC voted for that”: Man shows Eastern Cape and Western Cape road, SA reacts

• A traveller was stunned by the difference between the Eastern Cape (EC) and Western Cape (WC) road
• The gent was standing on the border between the two provinces where the road was smooth on the WC side and rough on the EC side
• The online community reacted to the video, with many pointing fingers at the provincial governments

South Africa has to be one of the funniest countries one could ever live in. A man showed the difference between the Eastern Cape and Western Cape roads.

In a TikTok video uploaded by @dumpiethetraveller, the man is standing on the border that separates the Western Cape and the Eastern Cape province. What was hilarious was the fact that the separation was even visible on the tar.

The Western Cape tar was fairly done – in good condition, while the tar on the Eastern Cape side was old and not looking good. One could say that the scenario provided a picture of the country’s divide.

Sanral chairperson Themba Mhambi said that there are 288 authorities in the country that oversee roads. Mhambi explained that citizens are not allowed to fix potholes because it would create an issue of culpability.
