Gauteng Moves on Debt, Safety, and Rail | Johannesburg News

Gauteng is making bold moves to tackle its e-toll debt, clearing more than half of the R20 billion owed, while top government officials have completed their lifestyle audits under Premier Panyaza Lesufi’s sweeping reforms. The province is also accelerating Gautrain expansion with approved routes to Roodepoort and Fourways, plus high-speed links to Limpopo and KwaZulu-Natal — all backed by secured funding. Meanwhile, Lesufi has confirmed a strong, covert response to recent femicide spikes in the East Rand, launching Operation Shanela to deploy full law enforcement power across hotspots like Kempton Park. Internal probes are now targeting supply chain and finance departments, with eight officials flagged as high-risk and six as medium-risk, all referred to the Special Investigating Unit.
