JOHANNESBURG  – Ekurhuleni Executive Mayor Cllr Mondli Gungubele will lead the demolition of dilapidated buildings in Boksburg on Wednesday June 1, as part the Urban Regeneration Programme.

About 30 neglected buildings will be demolished as the city sets the tone towards sound urban environment management.

The City’s objective is to ensure proper management of the urban environment which includes amongst others, all civic buildings; open spaces; parks; lakes and dams.

The demolition of the eyesore buildings is also in line with the Mayoral Clean City programme which seeks to achieve a clean and green environment in order to prevent persistent decline of the City’s Central Business Districts (CBD).

These buildings belong to Council and private people.  The move is expected to improve the general safety of the public in Boksburg
