ANC national executive committee member Tony Yengeni has labelled Johannesburg mayor Herman Mashaba a political lightweight who could be the reason the Democratic Alliance loses Johannesburg. Mashaba, who has been accused of being xenophobic before, said he had taken criticism for his views on undocumented foreign nationals but would continue to give the issue prominence.
The Johannesburg mayor maintained that the protest action was a result of the ANC’s interference. He pointed out that ANC councillors were fiercely active in the protest and were clearly playing a part in the shutdown. He said the ANC had hijacked the concerns of Alex residents with the intent to score politically.
