“Last year, we installed 650 solar lights across Johannesburg… This year, the government is installing around 1,800 lights and we will continue on our campaign to make sure Jozi is lit up and safer going forward.”

In the true Jozi My Jozi spirit, the team is looking to get residents and businesses involved.

“The reality is that people who are using these streets are our parents, our siblings, family members and friends… In our quest to make sure we can have a safer city, it will be important to get all the people of Johannesburg contributing.”
