Johannesburg mayor Dr Mpho Phalatse has promised a ‘golden start’ to her tenure in 2022, including improved service delivery and infrastructure upgrades.
In a media briefing on Wednesday , Phalatse said that basic service delivery will be top of the list for the new administration and that her first priority is to ensure that the city delivers the basics to residents, namely electricity, water, and roads free of potholes.
Safety and security is also a priority, said Phalatse, with a number of initiatives in the pipeline, in conjunction with the South African Police Service, community policing, and private security firms, to make the city a safer place. Phalatse said that the new government will also work towards making the city more business-friendly, which will feed into initiatives to further accelerate the city’s smart city status.
Before the end of June, residents will get a city administration that properly responds to residents, the executive mayor said. “We pledge improved communications and public relations.”The inner-city rejuvenation programme will be resuscitated, with the heritage precinct named after the late Archbishop Desmond Tutu.The maintenance of traffic lights is expected to become more effective and efficient as the city adopts cost-effective UPS recabling.
