Johannesburg - Johannesburg Mayor Herman Mashaba will finally go to troubled Alexandra on Monday evening, several days after irate residents demanded an audience with him.
Last week President Cyril Ramaphosa, who is the African National Congress leader, went to Alexandra where he observed: "The dirt and filth I have seen here is quite disturbing and I am saying we must remove the dirt from Alexandra. We must clean up Alexandra, Alexandra must be a clean place where our people can live”.
Early on Monday, Mashaba's spokesperson Luyanda Mfeka said: "There will be a proper advisory later on Monday, however, Mayor Mashaba is due at the Marlboro Community Hall at 6 pm. This is part of the scheduled IDP for Alex and region E". During his visit Ramaphosa said a mayor should not be afraid of his people, remarks he made in apparent reference to the no-show Mashaba, who blames the ANC for the troubles in Alexandra.
