Presidential Johannesburg Working Group sparks hope—Jozi My Jozi is ready to amplify efforts for a safer, prouder Johannesburg!…
Bringing Hope & Dignity Back to Our City
President Cyril Ramaphosa’s recent announcement of the Presidential Johannesburg Working Group has set the stage for a new chapter in our city’s revitalisation. At Jozi My Jozi, we see this as an opportunity to amplify the incredible work already happening on the ground, ensuring that Johannesburg’s unique character is preserved while paving the way for a brighter, safer future.
Recently, Jozi My Jozi CEO, Bea Swanepoel, stood alongside other key city stakeholders in Braamfontein to address the President directly. She emphasised our unwavering commitment to Johannesburg, stating that “Bringing hope and dignity back to our city!” means empowering its people and fostering a sense of pride in our shared urban spaces.
This initiative is not about wiping the slate clean or reshaping Joburg into a generic metropolis. Instead, it’s about reclaiming our agency in urban spaces, restoring our pride, and taking ownership of the future for Johannesburg, the province and our country. Through strong public-private partnerships, with over 150 companies already engaged, Jozi My Jozi has shown that real change happens when we work together.
Collaboration is the Jozi Way
At Jozi My Jozi, we firmly believe that sustainable change comes from those who live and breathe this city daily. That’s why we are dedicated to fostering meaningful conversations and collaborative projects that include local businesses, community organisers, and everyday residents. Our goal is simple: to create a Johannesburg that thrives for everyone.
A Platform for Action
This new Working Group presents an opportunity to showcase what’s possible when collaboration meets action. We are ready to roll up our sleeves and get to work, demonstrating how successful partnerships can transform Johannesburg’s landscape. With momentum on our side, this is our chance to highlight the resilience, creativity, and unstoppable spirit of Joburg.
We invite you to be part of this journey. Join the movement and help us build a better Joburg—one block at a time.
