The mayor says his administration will continue to improve service delivery and combat the ANC legacy of looting initiatives.
Joburg mayor Herman Mashaba has confirmed his visit to Alexandra township today, regardless of the fact that ANC councillors decided to boycott a service delivery meeting on Friday and despite the ruling party’s support for the #AlexTotalShutdown movement.
He said today’s meeting would form part of the scheduled engagements with the people of Alexandra on their grievances. Mashaba said the South African Human Rights Commission , which attended Friday’s meeting as an interested party, would probe historical and current challenges to the city’s response to service delivery matters in Alexandra under both the ANC and DA-led administrations.
