Govt lacks the will, not the way

There is a gentle breeze blowing in Johannesburg and it is being well received.

Hawkers once populated the sidewalks, forcing passengers to use the streets in competition with minibus taxis. The stench of fear that once lingered in Hillbrow is subsiding and the city seems to be in stages of repair.

It is the will to work that seems to be the problem, not the means.

Many have said that it is the G20 summit that has preempted the cleanup projects, others believe it is the upcoming elections that might change the course of the ANC’s existence, or its dominance in South African politics.

The bottom line is that something has prompted the cleanup.
