Comrade Dada says the ANC-led Jozi Metro administration intends to steal at least R100 million between today & November 04 before being voted out by the weary electorate. He says the plan is to disguise the loot as emergency funds used for infrastructure repairs & maintenance— in order to hoodwink our nosy Auditor-General & her people.

Johannesburg’s crime–council ecosystem. What will it take to stop the rot? This week @GI_TOC joins the @CDEsouthafrica for the release of Time for Action – Corruption in Joburg, the fifth report in CDE’s Johannesburg Matters: Fixing South Africa’s Growth Engine series. The report draws on a GI-TOC study commissioned by CDE which describes a ‘crime–council ecosystem’ underpinning @CityofJoburgZA. This ecosystem exploits the machinery of local government for illicit ends, contributes to failures in service delivery and undermines accountability. Register here for the report launch at 10am on 6 October globalinitiative.net/analysi…

@CityPowerJhb please kindly provide update on the below reference number - power in Parkhurst has been out most of the day @jozi117 @CityofJoburgZA

By 2031, all leaks should be fixed, with water losses cut from 58.7% to under 30%. All sewage works ​ should be running properly. The Metro keeps its investment grade, with a public report every year so ​ that the public can check. That’s the commitment. Published every year.​ ​ #ANCManifesto2026​ #VoteANC​ #LetsContinueBuildingBetterCommunitiesTogether

I always say I take time to reflect on events surrounding politicians before I can comment or share an opinion. Usually I decide to even hold back, considering what social media can become sometimes. In the case of Mayor Morero, and I know he apologized, someone commented when I shared Pule's post the other day and saud "he apologized, he's only human". I don't mind the apology, what I mind is the integrity of the Office he represents. I found myself yesterday once again going back to reflect on the few years that I worked in the Office of the late Mayor Isaac Mogase as an Administration Manager in the late 90's. Mayor Mogase having been an ANC Mayor, the first Black Mayor under the new democracy. What an honourable, respectable, humble man. He was from Alexandra. I suspect he probably grew up during the days of gangsterism in Alex where people carried oukapies, but he became a symbol of honour, integrity and dignity when I worked under him. I was just thinking that the way we were taught and led at the time, the love and respect Ntate Mogase had for the people and communities, what we saw done and said by Mayor Morero, would have been unheard of during Ntate Mogase's time. That was when the ANC was still respected and held in high regard. Ntate Mogase instilled values of discipline, decorum and diplomacy in us. He was a man of few words, but you just had to watch his leadership, not even what he said, to become a better person. We were young but we represented the Office well even the way we carried ourselves, with pride, wearing stilettos in those corridors of the Metro Centre. 😅 When Joburg was still Joburg. Councillors during that time included people like Kenny Fihla, the current CEO of ABSA Group, Parks Tau, the current Minister of Trade and Industry. Those were the days. I'm sure they are still comrades of the movement, but all I'm saying is, ayisafani. I find it sad that we are where we are. Ntate Mogase must be turning in his grave. Rest in eternal peace Ntate.

Pikitup in deep financial distress as trucks, staff and money run short dailymaverick.co.za/article/…

These words should be emblazoned on every government office in South Africa "Whoever decides to serve the public good must set aside, from the outset, any desire to get rich; and whoever seeks wealth should not hold positions that require dedication and selflessness. There can be no loyalty when the heart is tied to one's own benefit, because power exercised thinking only of personal gain ends up corrupting whoever holds it. Therefore, whoever assumes a public office must do so without greed and with a firm will not to fall into temptation. Only in this way does the office become true service, and not a disguised way of enriching oneself."

@CityofJoburgZA @DadaMorero @CdeDada every year our rates increase, every day services deteriorate. This year @CleanerJoburg have got worse, with failed collections. Yet we pay more. Bukelwa Njingolo is paid more than R4m/yr to pick up trash - she fails her only job - not fair
