  • Voting for Joburg Ep21: Our economic future depends on tomorrow's crucial vote

    Johannesburg voters are holding a powerful hand of cards ahead of the local government elections — but are they playing them?

  • Voting for Joburg E19: Will Joburg's Coalition Chaos Continue?
    Johannesburg voters could be heading for another five years of political instability — unless parties change the way they approach coalition government.

    That's the warning from governance experts who say the city's revolving leadership and political deal-making have helped undermine service delivery.

    And with no single party guaranteed an outright majority in the municipal elections, the question is whether the next coalition will put residents first — or repeat the mistakes of the past.

  • Voting for Joburg Ep17: Who's really in control of Joburg's inner city?
    Johannesburg's hijacked buildings have become a disturbing symbol of a city that's lost control of some of it’s vital parts.

    Illegal immigration, criminal exploitation and the failure to enforce building and safety regulations are all part of a growing debate about how to reclaim the CBD.

    With elections just days away, civic activists are demanding tougher action, while those working to restore the inner city warn that vulnerable people are being exploited by criminals — and that simply removing residents won't solve the problem.
