R9 billion project finally launching in South Africa next month after 15 years of delays

• The City of eThekwini plans to launch the first stage of the delayed R9 billion Go! Durban public transport network in December 2026.
• The Go! Durban program aims to transform urban mobility throughout Durban by implementing a phased rollout of Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) and rail corridors, with a focus on building accessible stations and promoting targeted socio-economic development.
• Opposition parties are sceptical of the project's cost and delays, with some calling for accountability and criticizing the lack of progress despite years of promises and reports.
