Joburg's Lilian Ngoyi Street rehab misses third deadline, 80% of R185m spent

The third deadline for the rehabilitation of 1.8km of Lilian Ngoyi Street in Johannesburg has passed with only 80% of the R185m budget spent and phase two incomplete. The new completion date is set for 31 October, but repeated delays suggest continued risk of further slippage. This highlights chronic project management failures in municipal infrastructure delivery, with implications for local economic activity and public trust.
