# Mayor of Johannesburg Dada Morero says the demolition of illegal structures in the CBD continues as the city intensifies efforts to reclaim the city from criminal activity. More than a dozen illegally built structures on Small Street have been demolished since Monday. The mayor says authorities needed careful planning to avoid violent resistance and legal challenges. He says overcrowding in the area contributes to crime, including robberies, turf wars, and violence:
