The I Stories: Councillors Speak Out

This book tells the stories of individual Johannesburg Councillors serving the public in a vibrant and dynamic local government environment. It offers an insight into  the role played by counsillors in the context of a municipla authority that has been tranformed from a racially defined Apartheid municipality, which benefited the whit minority, to one that today seeks to serve all its citizens equitably. It therefore outlines the challenges that face the City of Johannesburg in turning freedom and democracy into reality.

The “I” Stories: City of Johannesburg Councillors Speak Out provides a window into the lives of South African men and women who are the foot soldiers of local democracy in action. This book bears testimony to the courage, determination and tenacity of councillors who work towards bettering our society.
