Joburg mayor Geoff Makhubo and Gauteng Human Settlements MEC Lebogang Maile were labelled 'cowards and hypocrites' after they reneged on their visit to Lawley.
This was how Joburg mayor Geoff Makhubo and Gauteng Human Settlements MEC Lebogang Maile were labelled after they reneged on their visit to Lawley, where roughly 500 homes were destroyed on Thursday.
Hundreds of residents from the Kokotela informal settlement in Lawley, south of Joburg, had gathered on the area's main street after Makhubo and Maile's published alert on Saturday saying they would visit the location following the Thursday demolitions. Ngobese said on Sunday that because scores of people had gathered in one place in contravention on the lockdown regulations of staying indoors and not gathering in large crowds, Makhubo and Maile were advised to cancel the visit.
