JOHANNESBURG - Nearly two years after the Lillian Ngoyi Street explosion in the Joburg CBD, the site remains largely untouched.
Damage from the blast, which killed one person and left the street in ruins, was expected to be fully repaired by August this year.
But the Gauteng Democratic Alliance says that deadline is no longer realistic.

During an oversight visit today, party leaders raised red flags about slow progress, questionable contractors, and a lack of government accountability.
Repairs will cost the city nearly R200 million.
And as officials scramble to fix the street, questions remain over whether these efforts will be enough to bring life back to the city of gold.
