When ANC President Cyril Ramaphosa arrived at the Ekurhuleni community care centre in Thembisa, he was greeted by angry protesting residents, complaining about the candidate for their ward in the upcoming local government elections.
She claims that a candidate was imposed on the community. “We launched disputes and we didn't get a report back. We want answers from Ramaphosa,” she said.
Pinky Bulhali said the community is fed-up. “We don't have services in the area, they do not clean our area. Why did they decide to come today? It's because they know the president is here. Why now, where have they been?”
