Show Notes
Johannesburgs Metro Centre in Braamfontein has been closed for nearly three years, leaving fifteen departments scattered across six buildings. The city has extended a lease for a main spot in Newtown, costing nearly three million rand a month. City leaders criticize the setup, citing fragmented management and hurt public trust. The refurbishment project is in early planning, with a full feasibility study starting in 2027. Meanwhile, assets remain stuck inside due to broken lifts, and the building faces major repairs.
