The head of Gauteng's community safety department, the EFF's Mgcini Tshwaku, has demanded the immediate return of the law to the Johannesburg inner city
Being extra careful with his words, Tshwaku said: “You know this matter of downtown Joburg ... we must never be ... From a person who is from a distance they will just conclude, start putting nationalities, colour and stuff like that, without really doing a diagnosis ... But I don’t want to degenerate and go that route.”
After City Press explained to Tshwaku that the conditions he described were what #BuyaMthetho found when it carried out similar raids in the Hillbrow, Jeppe and Berea areas in 2018, he said that #ManjeNamhlanje was not only about raiding and arresting people.Tshwaku said the #ManjeNamhlanje campaign will be working to make the buildings more habitable and to relocate people who are in unsalvageable buildings.
It sounded like it something that is more long-term and not something that will be happening anytime soon.
