The City of Johannesburg has received a R548 million grant from Invest International Public Programmes to support sustainable waste management initiatives.
The signing ceremony took place in Sandton, alongside the G20 Trade Ministerial.
The funding will drive the Alternative Waste Treatment Technology Project, improving how the city handles waste.
This initiative aligns with Johannesburg's Integrated Waste Management Plan and South Africa's Just Energy Transition Partnership goals, aiming to divert 500,000 tons of municipal solid waste from landfills annually, and generate 28-36 MW of electricity.
Mayor Dada Morero says this is a powerful endorsement of their vision for a greener Johannesburg.

Speakers, including entrepreneur and author Dr. Miskyah Toth and digital strategist Masentle Siwela, encouraged women to lead with purpose and embrace technology to boost their brands.

In Cape Town’s Langa Township, the Langa Bicycle Hub is empowering youth through cycling lessons, repair training, and eco-friendly transport initiatives.
It supports over 1,000 households and promotes cycling as a low-carbon mobility option.
With transport accounting for nearly 60 percent of the city’s emissions, cycling is key to Cape Town’s goal of cutting emissions by 45 percent by 2030.
