Tshwane Mayor, Dr Nasiphi Moya, announced her administration's commitment to revitalising state-owned assets that have long been labelled as 'white elephants.' During her State of the Capital Address (SOCA) at Tshwane House on Thursday, Moya highlighted several key facilities, including the loss-making Wonderboom National Airport, the Fresh Produce Market, the decommissioned Pretoria West power station, city resorts, and the Rooiwal power station. Rather than divesting these assets, she emphasised that her administration is dedicated to enhancing and revitalising them for the benefit of the city.
