Johannesburg owes Eskom R6.84 billion but somehow wants to become a smart city

Johannesburg's executive mayor, Dada Morero, said that by 2027, the city must be digitally transformed into a smart city, including through AI integration of services.

However, on Tuesday, Eskom threatened the metro with rolling blackouts, warning that it intended to interrupt bulk electrical supply unless Johannesburg's R6.84 billion debt to the utility is settled.

It’s the thought that counts

Smartest thing the city could do is get rid of the ANC and other partners who have looted it dry for years.

Maybe they meant "a smut city".

Wet dream again? It's like catching a cold.... Like the saying goes, get your house in order first then you can do these things.....

No bullet trains? Usually they promise bullet trains.

Cover your faults and crimes with empty promises.

List of promises that work:-
Smart City - Your achievement level 1 / 20
Employment
Looking at fuel tax
Land
Bullet trains
Toilets
Houses
Increased SASSA
Free WIFI
More free Electricity
A tap for water

The list is huge and the above are common workable solutions to unhappy supporters

Please consult your anc manual for how to use the above with no implementation required.

That's not a very SMART idea.

City falling apart but people still voting in the guys causing the destruction. It seems the average resident doesn't need to be smart for a city to become smart.

In JHB case, blame ASA and PA, they decided to side with the ANC and push the nasty DA out.

Sigh if only we could tax revolt

Can't push anyone out without votes.

Once again - "more plans" but no actions.

The city is falling apart in front of our eyes and he thinks he can turn it into a smart city.

yeah and the muppets voted in ASA and the PA, cause they fell for Herman

Oh I follow. They're not 'technically' the people that oversaw the destruction. They immediately got into bed with the ones that were.

True that. At least people are trying to vote for alternatives I suppose. The system has let them down.

The biggest issue was, do not vote for smaller parties... 90% all side with the ANC

Geez, so tired of this cANCer rhetoric and bull***t

You must really improve on your reading comprehensions! They promise bullets, not trains!
