The Latest on Joburg’s Crisis & the Fight to Fix It
Honouring Eric Itzkin – and Those Who Keep Johannesburg Working
Eric Itzkin’s 35 years of dedicated service remind us that rebuilding Johannesburg depends on recognising and supporting the honest, capable public servants who keep our city working.
Johannesburg City Library Fully Reopens Thanks to Civil Society Action
The Johannesburg Heritage Foundation (JHF) and Joburg Crisis Alliance (JCA) welcomes the full reopening of the Johannesburg City Library (JCL) after years of closure and civic advocacy. A public ceremony will be held on Saturday, 9 August 2025. While this is a major win, the continued closure of several branch libraries remains a concern. The JHF and JCA remain committed to promoting access and accountability in Johannesburg’s public services.
