Johannesburg’s road maintenance activities are disrupted after the suspension of refuelling services for the Johannesburg Roads Agency (JRA) fleet, according to the city’s transport leadership. Kenny Kunene, the Johannesburg MMC for Transport, says the City faces severe service-delivery disruptions as a result of the interruption to fuel supply, which prevents the agency’s vehicles from operating. As a consequence, road maintenance work is halted while the situation affects the JRA’s ability to carry out scheduled services. The reports frame the issue as part of a broader municipal fuel crisis that limits operational capacity beyond a single department. The affected service is specifically linked to the JRA fleet’s inability to refuel, leading to a standstill in road-related maintenance operations. Details on the duration of the suspension, whether alternative fuel arrangements are being pursued, and the broader operational impacts across other city units are not provided in the available information. Overall, the reports indicate the immediate operational cause is the suspension of JRA refuelling services, with road maintenance among the services disrupted.
