Joburg removes illegal structures in CBD

Illegal structures built on pedestrian walkways on Small Street in downtown Johannesburg, are being demolished.

Authorities are intensifying efforts to reclaim public spaces and improve safety in the inner city.

Shop owners were instructed to remove their goods, while law enforcement officers moved in to clear pavements that had become heavily congested, and difficult to navigate.

It was the second day of demolitions, with concerns over overcrowding, accessibility and rising crime.
