OPINION: Herman Mashaba: The good, the bad and the ugly MashabasLastDay NickolausBauer
As a long-standing inner-city resident, I’ve been thinking long and hard about Herman Mashaba’s legacy as mayor.
Mashaba says his comments on migrancy are nothing but an attempt to bring law and order to the city of gold, and this was backed up by actions. His infrastructure record also speaks for itself. The M2 highway underwent critical repairs to prevent a collapse. The project was delivered on time, and a critical public-private partnership between Absa and the JMPD kept inner-city streets flowing and relatively safe with the added traffic.
But in the past six months, sheets have been hung where window frames were once found, and the 11-storey building has become a hive of poverty-induced crime, violence and depravity.
