Johannesburg Mayor Dada Morero has promised to deliver services for the city residents on Wednesday.
Although his administration has a plan to rebuild, Johannesburg Mayor Dada Morero has cautioned that the city is finding it more and more difficult to meet the demands for housing, electricity, and basic services due to the fast expansion of informal settlements.
“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.
