Johannesburg
Latest Articles in 60 Seconds
The City of Johannesburg is grappling with a decade of political instability, having cycled through eight mayors, while criminal syndicates have become embedded in procurement, budgeting and hiring processes. Research by Genesis Analytics shows the city spends more per capita than any other metro at R18 200 a resident a year and employs 8.5 municipal workers per 1 000 residents, yet loses more water through leaks and theft than Cape Town sells and fails to recover payment for 21% of electricity bought from Eskom.
Business offers partnership to turn around city, but receives no responseBusiness Leadership South Africa has formally offered to support Johannesburg's turnaround, drawing on successful collaborations that stabilised electricity and logistics, but says the city and Gauteng premier have not responded. The organisation argues that stable, honest leadership, dedicated policing to root out syndicates, restored water and electricity services, and a credible financial recovery plan are essential, while a R3.8-billion concessional loan from German development bank KfW has been secured to help fix City Power's infrastructure backlog.
