flag Johannesburg executives got pay hikes up to 86% despite poor city services and a revenue shortfall.

flag Despite widespread failures in water, electricity, and waste services, Johannesburg executives saw pay increases of up to 86%, with some earning nearly R5 million annually—exceeding national caps. flag City leaders claim improvements ahead of the G20 Summit were part of a sustained, fully funded service delivery program, not temporary fixes, citing management reforms and political stability. flag However, critics question the fairness of executive pay amid a 17% revenue shortfall and a fragmented governance structure with 13 entities. flag A parliamentary review is underway over concerns that pay increases are misaligned with performance and financial health. flag The city maintains compliance with laws, while residents demand lasting change beyond the summit’s conclusion.
