In a last-ditch effort to pass its long overdue budget, the City of Johannesburg – a hung municipality governed by an ANC-led coalition – has managed to win over the DA which voted in favour of the proposed budget.
The metro was given until Friday to pass its 2020/21 to 2022/23 medium-term budget by the provincial government or follow in the footsteps of the capital city, Tshwane, which was placed under administration.
