Johannesburg needs R10bn to fix crumbling road network, says roads agency CEO

Johannesburg Roads Agency CEO Zweli Nyathi says R10bn in ringfenced funding is urgently required to overhaul the city's decaying road network, warning that continued deterioration threatens the economic hub of South Africa. The claim is an official estimate of funding need, not a confirmed budget allocation, and the actual fiscal commitment remains uncertain. The state of the roads is a growing infrastructure and economic concern for the country's commercial center.
