SWAZI INN UPGRADE LAUNCHED TO CLEAN AND REVIVE PUBLIC SPACE

The long-awaited Swazi Inn Public Environment Upgrade officially launched on Tuesday, 22 July 2025, in Ward 133, Ivory Park. This ambitious project, led by the City of Johannesburg’s Economic Development Department, is set to improve infrastructure, promote safety, and create a cleaner, greener, and more welcoming environment for both residents and local businesses.

Ward 133 Councillor Tebogo Marumo, standing in for MMC for Economic Development Cllr Nomoya Mnisi, officiated the launch and highlighted the importance of this initiative in revitalising the Swazi Inn precinct.

Until now, the area had been plagued by illegal dumping and muddy walkways. Thanks to the upgrade, the space has been transformed into a more attractive and functional area, especially benefiting hawkers and small traders who rely on foot traffic and clean surroundings to thrive.

“This area is significant to us as it caters for local businesses, particularly Swazi Inn hawkers,” said Cllr Marumo. “It makes sense that the area is clean because people who buy fruits and vegetables should be comforted that they are buying from a clean area. We are encouraging residents, particularly in Sakhile Section, Alfred Nzo Section and nearby Tembisa, to help maintain this space. This is not a dumping site.”

The newly upgraded area will now be maintained by the Johannesburg Property Company (JPC), Pikitup, and the Citizen Relationship and Urban Management (CRUM) department to ensure it remains clean and accessible.
