Gungubele will not only outline the City’s Programme of Action (PoA) but will also reflect on major achievements realised during the past four years especially in the areas of poverty, job creation, inequality, Aerotropolis, infrastructure development and basic services such as water, sanitation and energy among others.
“The mayor will deliver a report that will talk to all our people,” said mayoral spokesperson Zweli Dlamini.
“It will speak to business people, the middle class, high class, informal settlements dwellers, the young and the old.
“There will also be a strong element of economics because we remain determined to revive our manufacturing sector and expose new opportunities that come with our economic growth trajectory – the Aerotropolis.”

The road closures will be in effect on the mornings of March 23 and 24 between 8am and 2pm for rehearsals purposes.
