The new Mayor of the City of Johannesburg Herman Mashaba delivered his inaugural speech at the City's council meeting yesterday. He emphasized that the days of cadre deployment and nepotism are over, and that his- will be a government for every single resident of Johannesburg regardless of the vote. Hitting the ground 
running, Mashaba says he has begun work with Pikitup to ensure that shift work is doubled to address filth and decay in the Inner City. The Mayor says he will not allow motorists to be harassed about e-tolls. He also intends to host a billing Indaba to deal with revenue collection and the billing system. The speech comes in the wake of a report by National Treasury, that indicates that Johannesburg's debt was the fastest-growing among the country's wealthiest municipalities.
