CoJ denies service delivery initiative driven by upcoming G20 Summit

 JOHANNESBURG - The City of Johannesburg has denied suggestions that its bid to improve service delivery is driven by the upcoming G20 Summit, which will take place in the metro.
  
The city has launched what it terms an accelerated service delivery programme, aimed at improving cleanliness and maintenance across the city before November.
  
The programme is targeting Sandton on Tuesday, where teams are repairing roads, streetlights, and other municipal services.

City of Johannesburg Corporate and Shared Services MMC, Sthembiso Zungu, said these initiatives would continue beyond the G20 summit.

"This is not just for G20 but for future use as well. You can tell that something is being done. Traffic lights are working in the city now, and they haven’t been working in years. The mayor said when he came in that he wanted to make the city what it used to be before. It's not easy, and he can’t just turn it around in a few months, but with the support he gets from all of us, anything is possible."
