Joburg’s coalition of the unwilling: five leaders on one broken city
Tempers flared as leaders of the ANC, DA, EFF, IFP and ActionSA clashed over service delivery, housing and immigration in a fiery debate regarding the future of Johannesburg.
The city, which has been hit hard by unemployment, immigration issues, poor infrastructure, rising levels of violent crime and vandalism, and a lack of service delivery, served as the backdrop for the intense exchange.
The debate ended with the parties presenting competing visions of what Johannesburg requires after years of coalition instability.
