JOHANNESBURG CITY COUNCIL

Running a city the size of Johannesburg means juggling water and electricity infrastructure, refuse removal across sprawling suburbs and townships, roads that need constant attention, and thousands of permit applications. The mechanics of municipal service delivery in Gauteng's largest city involve coordinating between multiple departments, managing water pressure in high-altitude northern suburbs differently than in the south, handling billing systems that process millions of accounts, and responding to emergencies from burst mains to traffic chaos. Behind the scenes, teams work on licensing, inspections, complaint resolution, and the constant challenge of maintaining aging infrastructure in a city that never stops growing or changing.
