ActionSA flags R400m transport facility left idle in Johannesburg

The party says it has exhausted council channels and wants the Public Protector to intervene.

A R400-million transport facility in the heart of Johannesburg remains unused despite the need for better infrastructure, according to ActionSA. The Johannesburg International Transport Interchange (JITI) was constructed as a hub for long-distance and cross-border buses, taxis, and commuters, with capacity for 650 taxis and 20 buses.

ActionSA's Johannesburg councillor, Mpumi Edward, claims the city is neglecting facilities that could improve revenue collection due to a lack of political will from the GLU administration, currently led by Mayor Dada Morero. The party is preparing to file a complaint with the Public Protector over the city's delay in transferring JITI to its intended beneficiaries.
