The Braamfontein student precinct will be a much safer place henceforth thanks to the City’s rejuvenated Crime Prevention Plan, which promises tougher action against the scourge.
Launched on the Nelson Mandela Bridge on Monday, 15 February, the crime-fighting strategy is part of the municipality’s extensive Ward Based Policing programme, seeking to tackle all forms of crime across all communities of Johannesburg.
It was unveiled by the Executive Mayor, Cllr Geoff Makhubo, alongside the MMC for Public Safety, Cllr Mally Mokoena, the MMC for Housing, Cllr Mlungisi Mabaso, and the Speaker of Council, Cllr Nonceba Molwele. They were joined by senior municipal managers, senior members of the JMPD, Wits University SRC representatives and the Inner Jozi Safety forum.

Cllr Geoff Makhubo has reaffirmed the City’s commitment to transparency and accountability relating to procurement and expenditure on Covid-19 related items.
The Executive Mayor’s assertion comes in light of widespread allegations of corruption and malfeasance associated with the procurement of Covid-19 personal protective equipment (PPE) in the country.
Cllr Makhubo explains that the metro he leads has commissioned an internal audit of Covid-19 procurement and expenditure, which has unearthed incidents of non-compliance and possible illegal activity. These are currently under investigation by the Special Investigating Unit (SIU) and the City’s Group Forensic and Investigative Service (GFIS).
