Yet another study will try and find future options for the much beleaguered Johannesburg Metro Centre.

Is Johannesburg's vacant, derelict civic centre the ultimate monument for the metro's perceived legacy of poor service delivery?

Well, a recent inspection by DA mayoral candidate Helen Zille has re-exposed the centre's long-standing problems, like its piles of unprocessed archive files and building plans gathering mould.

This didn't happen overnight, though, as News24's Alex Patrick has been demanding answers about the Metro Centre's future for years now.
Later in the show, a meeting of African leaders, one black, one white, happened in a mobile home in the bushveld, On This Day in SA History, our regular segment.
