Helen Zille’s first 100 days – if she becomes Joburg mayor
What she would focus on in a 'life-or-death' struggle for Africa’s most industrialised city.
Johannesburg mayoral candidate and former Cape Town mayor Helen Zille will spend her first 100 days bringing stability to the city’s finances. That’s the first order of business.
After that, she aims to stabilise basic services such as water, electricity and – yes – potholes. There’s no quick fix for a city that is circling the drain and is effectively bankrupt, with just short of R4 billion in cash and R25.2 billion in creditors.
