The City of Johannesburg has finally passed its belated budget for the financial year 2020/2021.

The city has also allocated R800m over the next three years for the purchase of new Rea Vaya buses.

Matongo said in addition to the R45m that was allocated in June this year for the rollout of the free Joburg wi-fi, an additional R40m has been made available to expand access to free wi-fi to hostels, flats, student villages and old age homes. City Power has been allocated a three-year capital budget of R2.6bn which will fund the provision of public lighting at R205m, the electrification of informal settlements at R498m and the electrification of mega housing projects at R100m.
