Stephan Lichtenauer | נח סתו<p>「‘Not very pleasing’ – <a href="https://mastodon.africa/tags/Ramaphosa" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Ramaphosa</span></a>’s tough talk to <a href="https://mastodon.africa/tags/Gauteng" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Gauteng</span></a> ahead of <a href="https://mastodon.africa/tags/G20" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>G20</span></a> Summit</p><p>[...]</p><p>“This year, we have the opportunity to host the G20. It will manifest itself in about 130 meetings. Some of these meetings will happen here in Gauteng,” said Ramaphosa.</p><p>“As these meetings happen, it is the opportunity for Gauteng to gear up, to demonstrate that we did not make a mistake by choosing Gauteng to host the G20 meeting.</p><p>“We were correct in choosing Gauteng, <a href="https://mastodon.africa/tags/Johannesburg" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Johannesburg</span></a>, to be the host of the G20. Gauteng must showcase itself to the world. It must be at its best in terms of the physical presentation and environment. Let us make our metros presentable.”</p><p>Ramaphosa also talked tough with the executive when he expressed his disappointment with the environment, which he said was not pleasing.</p><p>“Sometimes it’s good to be direct and say it as it is; I should say that one or two meetings of the G20 that I attended here were not very pleasing.</p><p>“The environment that one observed was not a pleasing environment. I say this so that we can improve immensely,” said Ramaphosa.</p><p>He called on the executive to address the governance failures, financial <a href="https://mastodon.africa/tags/mismanagement" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>mismanagement</span></a>, crumbling infrastructure, <a href="https://mastodon.africa/tags/crime" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>crime</span></a>, lawlessness and unreliable <a href="https://mastodon.africa/tags/ServiceDelivery" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ServiceDelivery</span></a> that are destroying Johannesburg.<br>G20 routes</p><p>Last week, Joburg mayor Dada <a href="https://mastodon.africa/tags/Morero" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Morero</span></a> faced backlash for saying the city’s clean-up campaign would prioritise G20 routes.</p><p>The mayor said: “We have prioritised certain routes within Johannesburg, which are G20 routes, to ensure that at least we can make them at the standard at which they should be.

Jungle George 🌬️🍃🐉<p>Calabash 2025 in <a href="https://mastodon.africa/tags/johannesburg" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>johannesburg</span></a> was pretty epic!</p><p>With Fokofpolisiekar, The Offspring and Greenday 🎸🤘</p>
Jungle George 🌬️🍃🐉<p>Johannesburg in the <a href="https://mastodon.africa/tags/1930s" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>1930s</span></a> was such an interesting mix of grit, glamour, and growth. It wasn’t just the "City of Gold" because of the mines - it was a city finding its feet, expanding, and creating an identity that still lingers today.</p><p>Take a look at these old images of Johannesburg’s City Hall and Park Station, two landmarks that really highlight what the city was like back then.</p><p>City Hall, with its grand design, was a symbol of ambition and the idea that <a href="https://mastodon.africa/tags/Johannesburg" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Johannesburg</span></a> was more than just a mining town. Completed in 1914, by the 1930s it had become the heart of civic life. It’s where the big decisions were made and, honestly, where the city showed off a bit. That dome and those pillars scream, “Look at us, we’re here to stay!” Today, the City Hall has a different vibe, but it still stands as a reminder of the city’s early days of growth.</p><p>Then there’s Park Station, which was a gateway for so many people arriving in Joburg, either chasing dreams or just trying to make ends meet. Back in the 1930s, Park Station was more than just a transport hub - it was this massive space where people from all walks of life crossed paths. Imagine steam trains rolling in, families saying goodbye, and the constant hum of movement. The station, with its towering arches and spacious interior (check out that fountain!), was a marvel of design. It’s had its upgrades since then, but its role as a connector remains just as important.</p><p>During this time, the city itself was a bit of a paradox. On the one hand, you had this booming economy thanks to the gold mines, and on the other, deep inequalities were shaping life for a lot of its residents. Areas like Sophiatown were starting to bubble with creativity, even as segregation laws made life incredibly tough for many.</p><p>Looking at these <a href="https://mastodon.africa/tags/historic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>historic</span></a> photos, you can almost imagine what life was like back then - people bustling about, trams on the streets, and a city that was growing into something far bigger than anyone could have imagined. It’s amazing how much has changed, but you can still see pieces of this history in <a href="https://mastodon.africa/tags/Joburg" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Joburg</span></a> today.</p>
