Zille’s Realistic Plan for Joburg | Johannesburg News

Helen Zille is boldly eyeing Johannesburg’s mayoral throne, laying out a no-nonsense plan to restore basic services — water, power, waste — without false promises of instant fixes. She’s honest: the city’s crisis dwarfs Cape Town’s, and recovery won’t happen in 100 days. Zille’s strategy hinges on tough talks with national powers to shield essential funding, while championing business growth through reliable infrastructure — citing Midvaal as proof. Targeting township voters with shared values like constitutionalism, she frames the election as a make-or-break moment: choose stability or more chaos. She also demands fiscal discipline from DA councillors, insisting international travel must serve the city’s interests — all while pushing for public-private partnerships without surrendering control.
