"I am voting because I am used to it," said the 58-year-old who cast her vote at Rembrandt Park school in Lombardy East, Johannesburg, on Monday. There were mostly senior citizens in the queue."I just hope that this time around, they will listen to our cries. In this area our children are not safe. We always worry about their safety when they walk home from school. My child was once kidnapped but I was lucky that she was found unharmed. We need police visibility," she said.
Moerane said when we took over the city in December,"we looked at priorities and our number one priority was good governance"."As the ANC, we allowed communities to choose their own councillors, people that they trust and we won't tolerate corruption. In the past when you find officials [involved] in corruption, we asked them to resign but this time they will be sent to jail," he said.
He said there was a need to eliminate wasteful expenditure in municipalities to make sure that the little resources they have are channeled to help communities and deal with service delivery.
