Apartheid spatial planning is still alive where leadership has failed to confront it.
@LukhonaMnguni , RISE Mzansi Joburg Mayoral Candidate sets out a clear vision for spatial reform in Johannesburg, investing in public transport and inclusive housing so that where you work is where you can live and belong.
We have seen how other leaders protect apartheid spatial planning to benefit a select few, keeping opportunity out of reach for many.

Minister Mmamoloko Kubayi: "This is factually incorrect. The Ghanian national who was fatally wounded was attacked at his place of work on Monday (not on protest day), in an incident that the police believe to be extortion related. It is concerning that Ghanian authorities continue to communicate false information about South Africa regarding developments on migration. No fatalities have been recorded during the day of the protests. The spread of false information to perpetuate the false narrative that South Africa is xenophobic is unacceptable"
