Good day all, may I ask what road is being fixed at Chelmsford dam??
We that visited the dam is very unhappy with the state of the entrance road that went to the “dogs” literally.
We can’t use that road as it is in a horrific state, the mine trucks have demolished it totally.
We travel from Ladysmith to spend the afternoon there after shopping in Newcastle and as yet we can not use the road.
Please advise us as to what road to use to go and enjoy the afternoon at the dam.
I am member of the KKZNWildlife (Rhinoclub) and can’t use it there.
I just like the helpful information you provide in your articles
