AT first glance, you might believe the awakening of construction sites in the Joburg CBD is a sign of the governing party paving the road to the 2024 elections.
But looking at things through rose-coloured glasses, it looks like a city that has regained its potential and is paving the way for new things.
Construction sites have become an ordinary sight in Joburg.

Here, you can also see road and construction sites that are filled with heavy machinery used by construction workers to smooth potholes and repair tar roads.
There are multiple types of construction sites where roadways are constantly modified to allow for a better and sufficient living environment.
Among these city buildings and busy road sites are vibrant people who continue to explore the public spaces and what Roodepoort has to offer.
