Those who use municipal services must pay for them. Revenue collection is critical to fixing Johannesburg and delivering the services residents deserve.

Earlier today, alongside MMC for Human Settlement, we conducted a focused operation in Fleurhof as part of the City of Johannesburg’s ongoing efforts to restore order, uphold the rule of law, and promote safer communities for residents. The operation targeted the Fleurhof Hostel, which is scheduled for demolition to facilitate future housing initiatives aimed at improving living standards and addressing housing needs within the area. The City is committed to supporting affected South African families through arrangements for temporary accommodation, while undocumented foreign nationals are being processed by the Department of Home Affairs in accordance with legal procedures. Johannesburg remains dedicated to preventing lawlessness, unsafe living conditions, and illegal occupation from compromising the dignity and safety of our communities. We continue to work towards building a cleaner, safer, and more prosperous Johannesburg for all.

Marble Towers is required to settle their outstanding debt of R14 million owed to the city. Due to non-payment, measures have been implemented to disconnect their services and revoke access until the financial obligation is fulfilled.

We are in the inner city on small street, actively enforcing the city by-laws. We are not backing down ✊

Whenever we try to tidy up the city and ensure compliance, we often face resistance. Similarly, if tenants are non-compliant or residing illegally, the law must run its course. No one is above the law. Our job is to restore order, apply by-laws fairly, and safeguard the interests of the country and its residents. Law enforcement and compliance efforts can't be applied selectively to some and not others. We are going to the streets tomorrow and our legal teams will fight on our behalf ✊

Small street. We not done yet ✊

AFTER THE DEMOLITIONS.

Is my participation really taken seriously, or is this just a formality? This is not a tick-box exercise. The Municipal Systems Act legally requires municipalities to incorporate community inputs into the final IDP. All comments submitted during the 21-day minimum consultation period must be documented, considered, and responded to. The IDP gets tabled in Council and forms the basis for budget allocation. Your input has legal weight and institutional impact.

@BuzzLifenews Arrest them and attach their properties to recover the funds. Criminals these ones.

Designer to the stars, Rubicon forced to pay back R2.7 million in skills funds scandal The Special Investigating Unit (SIU) has confirmed that it has signed an agreement with Rubicon Communications to repay R2.7 million that was misused from funds originally meant for skills development. Hangwani Nengovhela is the founder, owner, and creative director of Rubicon, a prominent South African luxury fashion house established in 2002.  The SIU’s forensic analysis revealed that the funds were spent within two months of receipt, between November and December 2018, long before the training could begin. The money was diverted to cover Rubicon’s operational expenses, logistics, machinery purchases, rentals, loan repayments, school fees and personal transfers. This misuse of funds meant that the leadership programme never took place, and 100 learners were denied the opportunity to gain critical skills that could have improved their livelihoods. According to the SIU, the money was intended to empower and upskill beneficiaries, but was instead used improperly, prompting a full investigation by the unit. The SIU said the agreement forms part of efforts to recover public funds and hold entities accountable for financial misconduct. The R2.7 million will now be paid back following the findings of the investigation. Rubicon Communications CC was initially awarded R2,699,968.75 by the NSF in November 2018 to deliver a leadership and skills development programme for 100 learners. The project was meant to start in 2019 and run for 12 months, equipping learners with a National Certificate in Clothing, Textile, Footwear and Leather Manufacturing. The unit stressed that money allocated for skills development is meant to uplift communities and create opportunities — not to be diverted for unauthorised use. The SIU has been cracking down on the misuse of public funds and says it will continue to pursue recoveries where wrongdoing is uncovered. " The SIU does not arrest. It is not in our powers to arrest. Our mandate is to investigate corruption and maladministration, recover public funds, and refer evidence for prosecution to the NPA. Arrests are carried out by law enforcement agencies such as the Hawks and SAPS. Signing an AOD does not absolve anyone from prosecution." buzzlifenews.com

@LMoshwane @AdHabb So, in your world, the “sensible” people are voting for organically grown swimming pools with excellent transport access? Good luck with that.

This is brilliant! It is the most graphic depiction of the incompetence of the ANC in Johannesburg and Gauteng. Their leadership should hang their heads in shame. Any sensible citizen would vote for Helen in the coming election for Johannesburg Mayor.
