Executive Mayor: @CityofJoburgZA

The Joburg Open has officially kicked off! Traditionally, the Executive Mayor perform the ceremonial tee-off to launch this prestigious tournament, but today I chose to step back and let ten-year-old Tshiamo Tshitshi Makamedi from Alexandra take the first shot on my behalf. This gesture underscores our dedication to nurturing future champions. I am confident that someday Tshiamo will emerge as a winner of this tournament. #JoburgUpdates #JoburgOpen

The city will uphold its firm and assertive revenue collection strategies to ensure financial stability. As part of our main goal of achieving financial sustainability within the coalition government, we are strongly encouraging government departments with outstanding payments to settle their dues, with the aim of bolstering our liquidity and strengthening fiscal resilience.

Residents of Mountain View in Ward 06 have faced ongoing water shortages for years, but that must change. Yesterday, I met with the community to listen, engage, and lay out a clear plan for action. We are collaborating with key partners to increase capacity and ensure a reliable, sustainable water supply—not just for today, but for generations to come. This is about restoring dignity and creating meaningful, lasting change. We look forward to returning to Ward 6 in June to update residents on the progress we’ve made.

Over the next two nights at the Joburg Theatre, we will be honoring the extraordinary life and lasting legacy of Hugh Masekela, a revered figure in our cultural and political landscape. Each note played by Bra Hugh served as a reminder of our shared identity and core values. As the City of Johannesburg, we are proud to celebrate a son of the soil whose voice resonated globally and whose legacy continues to inspire future generations.

City officials are intensifying enforcement actions to crack down on illegal advertising banners, posters, and signage throughout Kwa Mai Mai to ensure compliance with the regulations of the city.

We are currently conducting an inspection at Kwa Mai Mai alongside the MMC for Economic Development, the JPC team, and JMPD. Upon arrival, several issues of non-compliance were identified, including illegal parking and the erection of unlawful housing structures on the property. JMPD is in the process of impounding vehicles that are parked illegally, and notices will be issued for the demolition of the unlawful structures. As the City, we remain committed to revitalising Kwa Mai Mai as a thriving and compliant business precinct. #JoburgUpdates

The 2026 Gauteng Investment Conference is currently underway in Johannesburg, building on the momentum of last year's inaugural event. The goal is to unlock R200-billion in investment and strengthen Gauteng’s reputation as Africa’s top sub-national investment destination known for credibility, project readiness, and execution. Johannesburg isn’t just the economic gateway to Southern Africa; it’s a dynamic city actively shaping the continent’s future. At this year's conference, we reaffirmed our dedication to creating a competitive, inclusive, and globally connected economy. Through strategic partnerships between government, business, and investors, we’re enabling bankable projects across infrastructure, digital industries, manufacturing, logistics, tourism, and urban renewal. We are simplifying processes, enhancing ease of doing business, and speeding up infrastructure delivery because we know investors seek certainty, credibility, and strong institutions. #GautengInvestmentConference #JoburgWorks #InvestInGauteng #EconomicGrowth #SmartCity
