Johannesburg Mayor Dada Morero has promised to deliver services for the city residents on Wednesday.
Johannesburg Mayor Dada Morero has warned that the rapid growth of informal settlements is making it increasingly difficult for the city to keep up with housing, electricity and basic service delivery demands but said his administration has a plan to rebuild.
“We said we will electrify informal settlements. Informal settlements are increasing in the City. This challenge is impacting our backlog. No amount of complaining will help us,” Morero said during his State of the City Address on Wednesday.
The mayor said illegal land invasions were slowing down development and pushing the city deeper into crisis.
“When land is hijacked, development is set back by 10 years,” he warned.
