Joburg is at a crossroads – and its future could shape South Africa’s economic outlook. Michael Avery is joined by Roy Havemann, who heads the Impumelelo Economic Growth Lab at the Bureau for Economic Research at Stellenbosch University, and Nomvuyo Guma, author of the lab’s latest urban-risk briefing on Joburg, to unpack the city’s growing challenges.
The conversation explores the impact of deteriorating infrastructure, financial pressure and political instability, why Joburg remains too important to fail, and what it will take to restore confidence and drive long-term growth.
