From world-class to collapse in 15 years

South Africa's economic heart, Johannesburg, was once a proud host to the world but has now collapsed into an effectively bankrupt mess in desperate need of rescue.

Some would argue Durban. Some big improvements there in some areas. A lot less potholes down there than up here so they seem to be doing something right in their roads maintenance and expansion department. However their sewerage plants are collapsing so it is not universal.

They put some lipstick on pig for the soccer world cup, and that was the last highpoint I would say.
