Johannesburg mayor Dada Morero has warned shop and property owners in the CBD the city will no longer tolerate practices that contribute to filth and illegal activity as authorities move to intensify efforts to reclaim the inner city.
Morero was in the Johannesburg CBD on Monday with the ward councillor, the COO of Pikitup and law enforcement officials, where shopkeepers were instructed to clean pavements outside their premises and remove waste from surrounding areas.
In videos shared on his social media platforms, Morero accused shop owners of undermining the citys cleanliness efforts.
