    “Thank you, Speaker. I rise on item 29, Naming of Unnamed Streets in Alexandra, Ward 75, Region E. Speaker, the EFF welcomes the intention behind this report because in Alexandra, an address is not a luxury. It is part of the basic infrastructure required for people to participate fully in the city.”

    “It estimates an enormous backlog of unnamed streets across Johannesburg, while this report deals with only 12 streets in Ward 75, with implementation costs estimated at 900,000. The EFF therefore supports the recommendations to approve the naming process and the public consultation undertaken in Ward 75,”

    Names Ward 75

How items are linked to this ward (no AI makes a link on its own): the text names "Ward 75"; or the ward's councillor says "my ward" while they have the floor (who has the floor is an AI reading of the transcript, checked against a quote); or it names a place that the City's 2022 ward list puts in this ward and no other. Every place-name match was read by hand; false friends (a street or person with a suburb's name) are excluded. A ward number in the text always wins over a place name. A promise also links here when a City document matched to it (by AI, then checked by hand) puts the project in this ward; AI matches nobody has checked don't count. Places that span several wards (Alexandra, Diepkloof, Orlando, most of Soweto) link nowhere, so this page misses items about them. Searched: 10 transcribed sitting days (26 May 2026 to 30 September 2026) and the votes and motions in 65 sets of signed minutes (26 January 2023 to 20 March 2026).
