Repair work on one of Johannesburg’s major highways has had an unexpected impact on South Africa’s major banks.
To combat the thugs taking advantage of the gridlock, businesses are meeting weekly with city officials and metropolitan police who direct traffic and monitor crime hotspots.Undercover cops are also keeping watch, while the likes of Absa and First National Bank provide shuttle services for staff, let employees work from home, come in during off-peak times or use satellite offices.
The city center - which also houses provincial government offices, universities, historical landmarks and the African National Congress’s head office - is also the scene of regular protests. "Being in Joburg CBD keeps us in close proximity to matters that the general public are passionate and concerned about,” said Celliers. “It’s not unbearable."
Fin24 Headline is in no way supported by content of the report by Bloomberg. The banks say crime is lower than before M2 work started. Shameful prejudice by News24, or perhaps your online subs are just useless. adriaanbasson : you are better than this.
Fin24 And why does this have to show a EFF billboard? 🤔
