Beast Tech Posted August 12, 2014 Posted August 12, 2014 Does anyone have a photo of these? Was riding past this weekend and it honestly looks like a small mob of miners came with pickaxe's and started mining the man hole... It can't be people bailing as it's pretty impossible to bail to the side of these things... The man holes in question are the one's between Victory park and Emmarentia... Anyone have any idea's?
worriesnot Posted August 12, 2014 Posted August 12, 2014 were they all broken or gone? I don't really understand your question...
Beast Tech Posted August 12, 2014 Author Posted August 12, 2014 were they all broken or gone? I don't really understand your question... Wish I had taken a photo, the one is missing, the other one is half out (Like someone tried to take it but failed) and the concrete/brick structures they are placed are chiselled away and super badly damaged

ValeYellow Posted August 12, 2014 Posted August 12, 2014 (edited) Sorry for the hijack which is slightly off topic, but did anyone else notice the crazy number of Hansa beer cans just after Virgin active on the way up to Emmerentia. The place was littered with empty cans but what I was really shocked by was that there must have been around 40 unopened six packs scattered everywhere. I am guessing a nearby bottle store got hit recently. Edited August 12, 2014 by ValeYellow nonky 1
Beast Tech Posted August 12, 2014 Author Posted August 12, 2014 Report it to Joburg Water Shall do, it just blows my mind how such damage can be done

Those cans have been there for a while - looked like an informal recycler just dumped a load of recycling... did NOT know that they were unopened!
RocknRolla Posted August 12, 2014 Posted August 12, 2014 this place sounds like such a lekker ride... Beast Tech, Pabloesque, nonky and 2 others 5

ValeYellow Posted August 12, 2014 Posted August 12, 2014 Those cans have been there for a while - looked like an informal recycler just dumped a load of recycling... did NOT know that they were unopened!i did not notice them the previous weekend, we cycled past there at about 8am on Sunday morning and yeah, the number of unopened cans was insane....
Pabloesque Posted August 13, 2014 Posted August 13, 2014 this place sounds like such a lekker ride...OH HELL Yeah, it is!! I love the smell of sewerage in the morning. The best part of the spruit, other than the aroma emitted from the open manhole sewers is the endless flock of WattWatchers who can like to be setting new and world-important strava times - just the best! JXV, nonky and Beast Tech 3

Just more distance in the ride
kosmonooit Posted August 13, 2014 Posted August 13, 2014 After the man-hole covers, come the frames, extracted out of the concrete, Not a 'scrap' of metal is scared in this city. The mayor fancies his apps though.
