City of Johannesburg Mayor Mpho Phalatse says irregular spending amounted to R3 billion for the 2020-2021 financial period in violation of council policies and legal prescripts.

Phalatse divulged the irregular spend amount while delivering her inaugural State of the City speech as a multi-party government in Johannesburg. The city has been beset by a number of challenges, including rolling power cuts, and the theft and vandalism of critical infrastructure.

Phalatse says working with the private sector, the city was able to fix over seven and a half thousand potholes in just seven weeks. Ten informal settlements will be targeted for upgrading in the coming financial year.

“I know it takes time to clean house, but we must move with haste and precision to get the entities functioning within the ambit of the existing legal framework,” adds Phalatse. The Economic Freedom Fighters Johannesburg chairperson Sepetlele Raseruthe says Phalatse presides over a very filthy city.
