Cape Town – South Africans have criticised the Minister of Transport Fikile Mbalula, as they accused him of giving “special treatment” to 947 radio host Anele Mdoda.
It all started when Anele took to Twitter to complain about two of her car tyres being ruined due to potholes.
“Pothole just took out two of my tyres. This is getting annoying I won’t lie
@MbalulaFikile,” wrote Anele in a tweet

Almost immediately, Mbalula responded to Anele’s tweet, asking her to send him an inbox.
“Send me DM,” Mbalula wrote in a tweet.

Hours later, the potholes that Anele complained about were mended.
The 947 radio host took to Twitter with cheerfulness to make the revelation.

“The spot that took me down is getting fixed as we speak and I ran into a few on my way back from kyalami and a few along Willem Nicol. Don’t know who to thank? I think it’s the lot from Dial Direct and Discovery. Whomever… thank you,” wrote Anele in a tweet.

Must be nice being famous, potholes are the reasons I can’t continue to work cause I can’t afford the damage. https://t.co/UC2EsH1EQh

this is testament of how the ruling party (& its deployees) is so out of touch with SA citizens… too many citizens have been complaining about potholes yet only a select few get responses… #VoetsekANC @CyrilRamaphosa @PresidencyZA @MYANC https://t.co/E9z1Dol5YS
