[WATCH] ANC NEC member and former Johannesburg Mayor Cde Parks Tau recalls how, by 2016, the city was investing more than R12 billion a year in infrastructure. Johannesburg had the country’s third-largest subnational infrastructure budget, funded largely through its own revenue and surpluses, with only a third coming from national government. Under his leadership, City Power consistently recorded surpluses. He says the city’s revenue and infrastructure spending fell after the DA took office, while City Power and other municipal entities weakened amid coalition instability. The audited financial statements, he argues, show how Johannesburg changed. The ANC’s task is to restore a clear vision and the capacity to build the city. #VoteANC2026 #LetsBuildBetterCommunities
