Four years after President Cyril Ramaphosa announced that South Africa was getting a new smart city near Lanseria Airport in the western part of Gauteng, developers are yet to break ground on the site.
“It will not only be smart and 5G-ready but will be a leading benchmark for green infrastructure continental and internationally.” However, the City of Johannesburg only adopted the provincial government’s plan for the development in May 2021. “While this has been achieved, ISA reported that the human settlements component was not approved due to the lack of institutional and government arrangements.
Kubayi said that the GGDA was in the process of appointing a transactional adviser to support the municipalities for the project.MyBroadband visited the site of the smart city in January 2023 and found no progress had been made on the physical development — at least in terms of actual construction. Aside from the airport and its related infrastructure, the biggest buildings were warehouses and offices in Lanseria Corporate Estate, where some expansion had taken place.
