EFF's Tlaleng Mofokeng sets out first 100 days plan for Johannesburg
The mayoral candidate says she would halt the sale of municipal land and buildings, insource outsourced workers and push National Treasury for a bigger share of the city's allocation.
Tlaleng Mofokeng has set out what an Economic Freedom Fighters administration would do in its first 100 days running Johannesburg, saying she would stop the sale of municipal land and buildings and use the city’s own procurement to create jobs.
Speaking in a broadcast published by eNCA (YouTube), Mofokeng said halting the disposal of municipal land assets and buildings would allow the city to begin an extensive infrastructure programme and to bring outsourced workers in-house.
The same approach would apply to water lines, electricity and other services the city currently subcontracts. Insourcing, she said, would give those workers labour protections and fair wages.
Mofokeng said the city’s existing procurement and supply chain would be used to prioritise youth-led small businesses, along with businesses led by women, by LGBTQIA+ people and by people with disabilities.
On jobs and industrial development, she proposed a one-stop shop to help residents regularise their paperwork, access permits and connect to formal supply chains outside the city. She also pointed to apprenticeships and internships as a way to build what she called a localisation pipeline, so that young graduates move into the roles needed to deliver services on time and predictably.
Health features in the plan through the extension of 24-hour clinics, which she said a mayoral committee member has already begun, and through a patient transport system for people with disabilities, the elderly, the chronically ill and children.
On crime, Mofokeng said an MMC would oversee the expansion of the recently launched JMPD transport tactical units, arguing that more visible policing deters crime.
She said she would act as the city’s first advocate in asking National Treasury to raise Johannesburg’s allocation to as much as 15%, up from the current 9%. Without the money, she said, the city cannot do what it needs to do.
Addressing corruption, Mofokeng said the little the city does have is used poorly, and that consequence management would be a priority in the first 100 days.
