Show Notes
South Africas Cooperative Governance Minister, Velenkosini Hlabisa, warns of potential national collapse due to the dire state of eight major metropolitan municipalities. These cities face massive debts, crumbling infrastructure, and poor management, with unfunded budgets, wasteful spending, and unpaid bills to key suppliers. The stakes are high as these metros house 62% of the population and produce over two-thirds of the GDP. Johannesburgs city center is condemned, requiring a decade-long public-private partnership rebuild. Without immediate action, these urban hubs risk dragging the entire economy down.
