	ICLEI Global: Johannesburg, South Africa

		The Greater Johannesburg Metropolitan Council (GJMC) is responsible for the coordination of environmental affairs; its four Metropolitan Local Councils (MLCs) are responsible for their management and control.

	Johannesburg, South Africa
		Johannesburg is also served by Johannesburg International Airport, the largest and busiest airport in Africa and the gateway for international air travel for the rest of South Africa.
		Johannesburg's relatively dry climate has not stopped local residents and the city council from planting an abundance of trees, and the city prides itself on having the most planted trees of any city, or about six million, which has created a forest-like appearance, especially in the lush northern suburbs.
		The northern suburbs are in the northern area of this photograph, the City Centre is slightly to the right of the centre, Soweto is to the left as well as the Eastern suburbs, and the Northwestern suburbs extend to the north west.

	5 Johannesburg: A city and metropolitan area in transformation
		Johannesburg's position as the country's largest town, later a city, and now a commonly used tag for a metropolitan area in a metropolitan region, has never since been challenged.
		Reflecting the importance of Johannesburg as the location for major headquarters buildings is the fact that 75 per cent of the 615 firms currently listed on the JSE are located in the PWV, of which 66 per cent are in the Johannesburg Metropolitan Area (based on data extracted from Maher, 1994).
		The Johannesburg Metropolitan Area consumes 9,097 GWh of electricity per annum, which is a mere 6.7 per cent of the national consumption but 5.8 per cent of the total installed (not necessarily productive) capacity of the rest of Africa (and about equal to the total annual electricity sales in Zambia or Zimbabwe) (Eskom, 1993).

	Responses to Victimisation - Crime in Johannesburg, Results of a City Victim Survey - Monograph No 18, 1998
		Police statistics31 indicate that crime ratios measured per 100 000 of the population in the police area of Johannesburg (which represents most but not all of the Greater Johannesburg Metropolitan Council's area of jurisdiction, as covered by the victim survey),32 are the highest in the country for most property crimes.
		Johannesburg's murder rate, however, is the second highest of all police areas in the country, as is the case for attempted murder ratios in Soweto.
		Suburbs are perceived as the safest areas in Greater Johannesburg: apart from those victims living in these areas (most of whom identified the inner city as being particularly unsafe), all other victims said they were most vulnerable to crime in the places where they live.

	An Analysis of Safety and Security Developments in the Greater Johannesburg Metropolitan Area - Mzi Memeza
		In terms of the Act, it is envisaged that by the end of 2000 all the municipal local councils in the Johannesburg Metropolitan area must be rationalised from six councils to one overall Johannesburg Metropolitan local Council.
		The LGTA gave metropolitan areas considerable scope to develop their own arrangements for governance – the differences in the way power and responsibility is centralised in the four metros and is decentralised to local councils is one example.
		The Johannesburg metropolitan council seems to be well prepared for the unicity and its progress on the establishment of the MPD also speaks to positive prospects in areas of crime prevention, the policing of traffic by-laws and the policing of municipal by-laws.

		In addition, the underlying structure of different metropolitan areas varies: comparing a highly centralised city with an agglomeration of smaller settlements may not be very meaningful.

	Crime and Crime Prevention in Greater Johannesburg: The views of police station commissioners - Janine Rauch
		While one might have expected the station commissioners to be familiar with the new boundaries and definitions of Johannesburg, this is probably a reflection of confusion which is common to many residents of the metropolis, and a legacy of apartheid urban planning.
		The racial breakdown of the police station commissioners in Greater Johannesburg is not representative of the racial demographics of the Metro area, or even of the SAPS, as a whole.
		However, the data gathered on "partnerships" in current crime prevention activities in Greater Johannesburg suggests two potential problems: Firstly, belief in partnership approaches is stronger in areas where potential partners are seen to be bringing valuable resources to the partnership.

		Although the criticisms of the IEC are mostly centered on lack of planning and disorganization rather than fraud or deliberate sabotage, there were allegations of ballot-stuffing, intimidation, and even of "pirate" voting stations in rural KwaZulu, where independent monitoring proved difficult to arrange at such short notice.
		With 50.3 percent of the regional vote, Inkatha received much greater support than had been predicted by opinion polls, although the IEC stated that it was satisfied that the final result had not been significantly affected by any irregularities in the poll.
		Political violence, which had been the principal threat to the transition process and was expected to disrupt voting in Natal and on the East Rand near Johannesburg, did not affect the election days themselves, which were amongst the most peaceful in several years.

		Statistics obtained from MBS Consulting Engineers show that not all the existing enclosures are legal and that there were approximately 360 existing enclosures in one particular substructure of the Greater Johannesburg Metropolitan Area in 2000.

		In late November 1995, residents in the Johannesburg, South Africa, neighborhood of Yeoville took to the streets to protest government inaction in the face of what many thought to be the rapid decline of their community.
		The eclectic mix of races, backgrounds, and lifestyles that characterized Yeoville was in stark contrast to the social agenda of the country's apartheid legislation.
		Despite the fragmented nature of governance in Johannesburg, your Strategic Executive is of the view that his Cluster is responsible for developing a coherent strategic vision for the metropolitan area as a whole, and for Yeoville in particular.
