The Member of the Mayoral Committee (MMC) for Development Planning, Cllr Belinda Echeozonjoku, recently conducted a site visit of Lehae Library, in the south of Johannesburg, following media reports of the development project being a white elephant since its completion in 2019. At project initiation stage, it became clear to the Johannesburg Development Agency (JDA), who implemented the project, that the allocated site was not registered, and zoning was therefore not allocated, although a Site Development Plan (SDP) application was made with the Land Use Development Management directorate in January 2017.
