Who are we kidding when we think South Africa can compete with the best in the world? Do we really think Johannesburg is a “world-class African city”? A new global rating shows that hundreds of cities globally are better than our best. According to the Schroders Global Cities Index, Johannesburg is ranked a lowly 277th, while Cape Town fares even worse, coming in at 316th.
Who are we kidding when we think South Africa can compete with the best in the world? Do we really think Johannesburg is a “world-class African city”?According to the Schroders Global Cities Index, Johannesburg is ranked a lowly 277th, while Cape Town fares even worse, coming in at 316th.

Not only that, the auditor-general exposed how consultants made R1.26 billion in 2020-21, doing basic financial accounting tasks for which municipal officials are already being paid over R10 billion in salaries.And even that didn’t help: the financial statements submitted by 59%, of the municipalities which used consultants had material errors., which rewards loyalty to the party with cushy jobs.
