Johannesburg’s story is bigger than “good” or “bad.” 🇿🇦
Since unification, access to water, electricity, sanitation and education improved while the city absorbed huge population growth.
Today the challenge is different: ageing infrastructure, reliability, jobs and renewal.
Why local government elections matter? Remember that communities we have today were fought for and created by real sweat of a for organisation that still exists today.

Apartheid spatial planning still haunts Johannesburg.
Before 1994, the Apartheid gov spent about 1/6 just of their budget on black areas.
That unequal investment over many years helped create infrastructure gaps that the unified city still has to overcome today.
Between now and 4 November , I’ll use this account to explain why I’m voting ANC.
I’ll look at the data, compare municipalities and governments, fact-check claims, examine the ANC’s record since 1994, confront its failures, and test different scenarios for South Africa’s future.
