Getting to know a road marker

MILLIONS of cars travel on South Africa's roads every day. With so many people using our roads, the white road markings needed to control traffic are of vital importance.

Malome we all have to start somewhere and I like the positiveness in you. Whether we comment negatively about your job and your salary what really counts is whether wena you are happy with your job and at the moment I see that hapiness in you. I can take home R50K (just an example) but you find out that I'm not happy with what I'm doing hence I said what is important is "TO LOVE WHAT YOU ARE DOING". Keep the spirit!

Maybe u should ask the same question on an article abt rape....ask the editor and his reporters if they cant get something positive to write abt.How abt that?

@Scruf. Ke nnete we always or sometimes have to start somewhere. I first started working for Property Projects Construction company in Wynberg (Alex), police and lastly moved to govt dept. I learned a lot at my first job.

I respect everyone working along busy roads from people digging trenches for cables, pothole patchers or road makers. Often people ignore their instruction to slow down.

Sowetan, thanks for a normal story about normal people doing good things.
Not all news should be about politicians, theft & murder.
We Africans have more depth than that.
