Complaints are streaming in about the sale of food parcels at excessive prices and alleged preferential treatment being given to friends and families of ANC members when it comes to distributing food aid
This comes in the midst of increasing complaints of discrimination by undocumented immigrants when it comes to handing out the food parcels.They blocked roads, started fires and refused to practise social distancing, claiming that only ANC voters were receiving food parcels, said DA MPL Gizella Hartnick-Opperman.
“But they are only going to certain parts, such as Mamelodi, while the rest of Tshwane suffers,” he said. “The DA has known for some time that Nawa is a deployee of the ANC. Prioritising ANC military veterans above elderly people who are desperate for food is despicable,” said Williams. Williams said the DA had been reliably informed that former ANC councillors were selling food parcels for R50 in Soshanguve, despite written instructions to all councillors telling them to stay away from food parcels.
