Mayor Nasipho Moya revealed last month that the metro was in a dire financial position, with a debt of R11 billion more than half of it owed to Eskom.
Shortly after the election as mayor, Moya ooutlined the top six priorities during her first 100 days in office.
Moya presented a 100-day action plan that the city believes will be a foundation to turn its fortunes around by the end of January 2025.
These include the metro’s financial stability, economic revival, infrastructure development focusing on energy, water, and roads, equitable basic service delivery and maintaining a clean city, by-law enforcement, and inner-city rejuvenation.
She said the metro plans to revitalise the inner city by identifying city-owned and abandoned properties for private sector-led mixed-use developments.
This includes affordable housing and student accommodation.
