Johannesburg’s Chief Executive Geoffrey Makhubo has warned “rogue” business forums not to block any of the city’s service delivery projects, warning that such attempts will not be tolerated.
Makhubo’s comments came during a supervisory tour of construction work that is underway on the city’s next phase of its Rea Vaya bus rapid transit (BRT) system.
“Business forums should follow the proper channels to raise their complaints regarding any city-led project,” Makhubo said.
The supervision tour, part of the October Transportation Month activities, was the inspection of the new Watt Interchange in Wynberg on the Rea Vaya route that will run from the Joburg CBD to Alexandra and Sandton. The route, which will start operating from next year, will connect with existing BRT routes in the city and bring the dream of an affordable and fluid journey one step closer between the Gauteng, Tshwane and Ekurhuleni subways.
“Transportation is one of the pillars of the Johannesburg economy and plays an important role in safely and affordably connecting residents to educational, business and employment opportunities,” Makhubo said.
