THE South African Municipal Workers’ Union on Wednesday demanded the Greater Johannesburg Metropolitan Council immediately stops its Igoli 2002 programme to revamp the Johannesburg central business district. Samwu said the plan has been hatched without any consultation with the city’s poor, and violates a national agreement on municipal restructuring concluded last year. The union threatened industrial action should the council not accede to its demand for an immediate moratorium on Igoli 2002. The programme, the brainchild of Johannesburg’s city manager Khetso Gordhan, will see the privatisation of certain assets, such as the Fresh Produce Market and Rand Airport, and the corporatisation of service delivery.
