Joburg gets started on its smart city vision

This ****s me off no end.

JRA isn't funded properly. City power is a mess. Pikitup is bankrupt. But let's waste money on projects that LOOK sexy, but are better suited to the private sector.

So far, the City has:
Rolled out 54 Wi-Fi hotspots, all on the Rea Vaya T1 and T2 routes and 20 are mobile hotspots (buses);
Ensured internet access in 30 libraries, with 80 libraries to be connected by June 2016;
Installed several hundred smart meters; and
Launched the Jozi Educational Digital Interns (COJEDI) initiative and Hack Jozi Challenge.
