Minister Velenkosini Hlabisa is leading South Africa’s bold plan to build cities that include everyone and stand strong against future challenges. His vision rests on five big ideas: teamwork across government, listening to communities, using new money and technology, fighting climate change, and boosting local leaders. South Africa’s cities are changing fast, and this plan hopes to turn struggles into smart solutions, making cities places where all people can live safely and with hope. The journey is tough, but with fresh ideas and shared effort, a brighter, fairer urban future is within reach.
