Morero Vows Johannesburg’s G20-Era Cleanup Will Continue

He says internal fixes—not special top-ups—made the turnaround possible.

Overview

  • On the G20 summit’s final day at Nasrec, Mayor Dada Morero told residents to “check us on Tuesday” to verify that cleaning and repairs continue citywide.
  • He reported smooth logistics for heads of state and delegates, citing effective traffic management and movements between hotels and the venue.
  • Morero said the city drew only on its June-approved, fully funded budget across all seven regions and did not require additional spending for the summit.
  • He attributed past service failures to management bottlenecks, saying he stabilized the governing coalition, reset systems, and intensified the Mayoral High-Impact Service Delivery Programme.
  • Morero said the G20 declaration strengthens Africa’s hand on climate and debt reform, and local analysts note the summit’s success could bolster his bid for ANC Johannesburg chair.
