AlexShutdown: Herman Mashaba says ANC has silenced residents' voices
PORT ELIZABETH - Johannesburg mayor Herman Mashaba has slammed ANC councillors for electioneering and called on President Cyril Ramaphosa to participate in finding a non-partisan solution to the Alexandra service delivery protests that erupted on 3 April.
He lambasted ANC councillors for similar conduct last week when the MMC for safetey Michael Sun was prevented from receiving a memorandum from protesters last week. Mashaba said that the DA was ready to discuss the real problems of the people and he challenged "the ANC government to come speak to its 'successes' in Alexandra over the last 25 years".
"Over and above this, I have written to President Ramaphosa after learning of his stated plans to visit Alexandra on Thursday 11 April 2019, and those of Premier Makhura on tomorrow ,"
