Speaking on Wednesday, Morero reaffirmed the city’s commitment to addressing the crisis by improving and modernising its water and sewer systems.
"We are making a commitment as the City of Johannesburg to ensure that we deal with infrastructure refurbishments. The water and sewer infrastructure is high on our list. There are 150km of pipes in the city that have to be replaced."
Ramaphosa ahead of his visit to the city centre on Friday, said the campaign is a key initiative by the City of Johannesburg in Partnership with the Private Sector, as it unites entities and prominent CEOs from Johannesburg and aims to expedite urban renewal, enhance service delivery, and restore dignity within high-priority precincts.
“The Executive Mayor of Johannesburg Councillor Dada Morero launched the program earlier in the week and articulated the collaborative efforts between the City and the business community to foster visible progress, ensure sustainable precinct management, and promote long-term investment in the revitalisation of Johannesburg. Through this initiative, Government aims to demonstrate a new era of shared accountability and collective action,” Ramaphosa stated.
Morero indicated that the CEO- City Cleanup is the first central activation under the partnership model, demonstrating how government and business are collaborating to create a cleaner, safer, and more competitive Johannesburg.
Speaking at a media launch, in Braamfontein on Tuesday, Morero said the clean up of the City would not be a once off.
“This is not a three day campaign, it is a long-term commitment which marks the beginning of a sustained partnership, that will transform the way we manage Johannesburg” he said.
