Residents of Alexandra have received some public support and sympathy as they make their way to Sandton, north of Johannesburg.
Since last week, organisers of the #AlexShutDown planned to march to Sandton after Mayor Herman Mashaba failed to meet with the residents. Mashaba said that he would meet with them when they made an appointment with him.
Some of the residents' grievances include illegal buildings and poor waste management in the township. The premier also said he would visit the township on Tuesday and meet with the #AlexShutDown committee.
