Johannesburg residents head to the polls next month — with the future of our troubled city hanging in the balance.

“There are still a number of questions to be answered."

Is it connected to the Department’s pollution hotline?

D-Day for City Power ring-fencing as turnaround demands more action
#JoburgCAN's Julia Fish said she supported the principle of ring-fencing but cautioned that changing where the money flowed would not, on its own, fix City Power.

The difference between a managed City Improvement District (CID) and the surrounding areas is often glaring.
That is why JoburgCAN has been pushing the City to finalise its Special Rating Area policy.

Your Joburg bill suddenly jumped? Don’t just look at the amount due.
Understanding the account is the first step to challenging what may be wrong.
