JOHANNESBURG -City of Johannesburg's Rea Vaya bus services is in shambles.
According to a new report the city has lost over R300 million in grant funding due to poor performance.
To make matters worse, the Reya Vaya bus service has not spent any of its R546 million budget this year.
MMC Kenny Kunene says they are dealing with long-standing issues some of which started 16 years ago.
Among those issues are delays in procurement for buses as well as the processing of the licenses and permits for taxi's.
"Its not an issue of corruption but rather the delivery of these buses," he says.
Despite this the MMC maintains that wheels are in motion. He says new gates have been opened and stations are being renovated.
Kunene bows that by July all 68 buses will be functional.
