The MMC for Environment and Infrastructure Services Department (EISD), Cllr Jack Sekwaila, has launched the Greater Johannesburg Environmental Forum in partnership with Pikitup, marking a new era of collaboration between the City and environmental stakeholders.

The Forum brings together 11 local cooperatives from across Johannesburg, each playing an active role in recycling, stream cleaning, and environmental education. Its main goal is to strengthen partnerships, promote sustainable practices, and amplify environmental advocacy throughout the city.

Johannesburg Water, in partnership with Wits Enterprise, is proud to announce the launch of a pioneering pilot project aimed at improving access to reliable water supply in informal settlements through the use of underground water sources.

JOHANNESBURG, 6 October 2025 – The City of Johannesburg (City) has welcomed the decision by Global Credit Rating Company Limited (GCR) to revise its outlook from negative to stable. This reflects expectations that the City’s financial position will remain steady despite ongoing operational challenges, liquidity constraints, and service delivery pressures.

Cities have historically taken the lead in the AIDS response through the delivery of services, community advocacy and sustained political leadership. As dynamic centers for economic growth, education, innovation, positive social change, and sustainable development, cities offer important opportunities and have inherent advantages in accelerating the response and in taking transformative action to ensure that services are delivered to everyone in an equitable and an efficient way.

The City of Johannesburg is this week intensifying its mayoral high-impact service delivery
programme in Region F, launching a rigorous, multi-pronged counter-offensive to confront
infrastructural collapse, rampant illegal dumping, and escalating urban decay in the strategically
vital Wards 63 and 60.

This accelerated intervention focuses on the Hillbrow Health Precinct and the Braamfontein
education/business corridor, two zones struggling with complex challenges ranging from the
unchecked sprawl of informal settlements and widespread vandalism of municipal infrastructure
to the prevalence of illegal car wash operations and hijacked properties.

The City of Johannesburg is proud to announce the official opening of the new Central Fire Station in Marshalltown. The launch will be officiated by the Executive Mayor, Councillor Dada Morero, tomorrow.
