  • Reframing the Urban Challenge in Africa
    Reframing the Urban Challenge in Africa This book explores the changing dynamics and challenges behind the rapid expanse of Africa’s urban population. Africa’s urban age is underway. With the world’s fastest growing urban population, the continent is rapidly transforming from one that is largely rural, to one that is largely urban. Often facing limited budgets, those tasked with managing African cities require empirical evidence on the nature of demands for infrastructure, escalating environmental hazards, and ever-expanding informal settlements. Drawing on the work of the African Urban Research Initiative, this book brings together contributions from local researchers investigating key themes and challenges within their own contexts. An important example of urban knowledge co-production, the book demonstrates the regional diversity that can be seen as the main feature of African urbanism, with even well-accepted concepts such as informality manifesting in markedly different ways from place to place. Providing an important nuanced perspective on the heterogeneity of African cities and the challenges they face, this book will be an important resource for researchers across development studies, African studies, and urban studies. Ntombini Marrengane is the Manager of the Secretariat for the African Urban Research Initiative (AURI), a Pan African, interdisciplinary applied urban research network, based at the African Centre for Cities at the University of Cape Town, South Africa. Sylvia Croese is a research associate with the African Centre for Cities, University of Cape Town and a senior researcher with the University of the Witwatersrand (South African Research Chair in Spatial Analysis and City Planning) in Johannesburg, South Africa.

  • Governing for Urban Inclusion? a Critical Analysis of the City of Johannesburg Migrant Help-Desk
    Governing for Urban Inclusion? A Critical Analysis of the City of Johannesburg Migrant Help-desk Roshanara Brigid Dadoo 400811 submitted in fulfilment of the requirement for the degree of Masters by Dissertation Development Studies Supervised by Prof Loren Landau and Prof Srila Roy March 2020 1 Declaration I declare that this dissertation is my own original work and that none of its sections have been previously submitted for publication or examination. Signature................................................Date..................................... Roshanara Brigid Dadoo 2 Abstract Globally, right wing populist regimes with violently anti-migrant agendas are coming to power and imposing increasingly authoritarian mechanisms of governing populations. Rapid urbanisation in sub-Saharan Africa in particular has put a spotlight on the role of cities in migration and how municipalities handle tensions between incomers, integration with local communities and the needs of expanding numbers of poor and peripheral residents. Johannesburg, synonymous with migration since its beginnings in the 1890s gold rush, is the only city in the country to have designed and implemented an urban migration policy. It is a striking example of a post-apartheid liminal city in which mobility is a marker of precarity or poverty for citizen and migrant alike. I set out to understand what the creation and operation of the City of Johannesburg migration policy and Migrant Help-desk reveals about the city government’s vision in/exclusion. The study was conceived from asking how and why state institutions in post-colonies decide who to in/exclude from their jurisdictions through governing urban migration. Critical assessments of municipal policy in Johannesburg have mainly focused on local economic, planning and infrastructure issues.

Official Newspaper of the GOOD Party Vol 13 June 2021 Free Copy The ANC is running Jozi into the ground BY MATTHEW COOK Freezing weather, power blackouts and water cut-offs – this month included Eldorado Park, Westbury, Westdene, just more hot air. Johannesburg needs a deliverable plan on top of a surging pandemic.

  • Tribute to Executive Mayor Geoffrey Makhubo.Pdf
    Tribute by Cllr Mpho Moerane on the occasion of the Council’s Memorial Service for the late Executive Mayor, Cllr Geoffrey Makhubo 29 July 2021 Madame Speaker, Councillor Nonceba Molwele Chief Whip of Council, Councillor Solomon Mogase Chair of Chairs, Councillor Salphina Mulaudzi Chairpersons of Committees Leaders of Political Parties The family of Councillor Geoff Makhubo Fellow Councillors Comrades and Friends The people of Johannesburg It is just over two weeks since we laid our brother, our dear friend and comrade, our leader, our beloved Majoro, a dedicated servant of the people of Johannesburg; Councillor Geoffrey Moloantoa Makhubo to rest. Although we are fervent believers in the old adage that: time heals, sadly at this hour, at this moment, time – precious time – has yet to heal our gaping wounds. It pains us still that our beloved Councillor Geoff Makhubo is no more. It pains us still that today we are speaking of him in the past tense. It pains us still that he has left us too soon. And it pains us still that we will see him no more. However, even in our deepest pain; even as our hearts are heavy, we consider ourselves privileged that, in him, we were in the company of so rare a jewel, who was simultaneously a genuine friend and comrade; a dependable colleague; an activist to the core; a servant leader; a patriot to the end; an internationalist; and a revolutionary. On this day we, once again, extend a hand of comfort to the family of Councillor Makhubo – the wife Ousi Nono, the kids, Councillor Makhubo’s mother and brothers, as well as the entire family, your relatives loved ones and friends.
