‘Joburg is collapsing’: Herman Mashaba says residents are being failed

ActionSA leader Herman Mashaba has dismissed Mayor Dada Morero’s State of the City Address (SOCA).

Former Johannesburg mayor and ActionSA leader Herman Mashaba has warned about the state of Johannesburg, saying residents are being failed by a city that is slowly falling apart.

Speaking hours before the State of the City Address (SOCA) on Wednesday, Mashaba said people were tired of political speeches while their daily lives were becoming harder.

“Residents live the crisis every day,” he said.

Mayor Dada Morero is expected to deliver his address at St Mary’s Cathedral in the Joburg CBD amid mounting pressure to convince residents that his administration can reverse the decline in the country’s economic hub.
