Almost a week into the protest action in Alexandra township, Johannesburg mayor Herman Mashaba has been subjected to criticism on how he has handled the protests.
The mayor said he had noted President Cyril Ramaphosa's call to address the people of Alex.
Mashaba said he would only account for the two years that the DA has governed in Johannesburg, and that Ramaphosa would have to account for more than 20 years of lack of service delivery in Alex. Mashaba said he will be leading an engagement with the people of Alex on April 15. The mayor said that the meeting will allow him and the community to engage on budgets and service delivery.
Mashaba asked Ramaphosa if his visit could be an"intergovernmental" engagement that involves the local, provincial and national structures.
