[…]
“The escalation of crisis incidents, such as the recent deadly fire in #Hillbrow, the gas explosion in the central business district and an increase in property hijackings and criminal syndicates, are warnings that urgent action is required to prevent the total collapse of the city. Even anarchy is fast becoming a real concern,” posits CEO Busisiwe #Mavuso. 」
Business organisation Business Leadership South Africa (BLSA) says the Johannesburg Crisis Alliance’s call for an immediate intervention to end the “coalition chaos” in the City of Johannesburg is “an important intervention, as the political instability and poor leadership in the city present a major threat to the economic heartland of South Africa and requires urgent attention”. “The escalation of crisis incidents, such as the recent deadly fire in Hillbrow, the gas explosion in the central business district and an increase in property hijackings and criminal syndicates, are warnings that urgent action is required to prevent the total collapse of the city. Even anarchy is fast becoming a real concern,” posits CEO Busisiwe Mavuso.
