The former Joburg mayor, while taking a swipe at the ruling ANC, vowed that his party would seize the three metros in the coming polls.
Mashaba added that the main reason for the picket was to fight for residents’ rights to have access to an effective, reliable and fit-for-purpose public service that insources front line staff where they are needed most.
“To this day, the DA is yet to take residents into their confidence and explain their R80 million salaries bungle. For a full year, over 600 general workers reported to the City for work but were forced to stand idle as there was no work for them – despite the desperate need for competent workers who attend to resident complaints across the City.
“We will no longer tolerate mediocre performance or failing service delivery. We will create a performance-driven, competitive, yet caring, workplace for municipal officials, but we will also expect our officials to work hard and get the job done. We will transform our municipal organisations to ensure that rate and taxpayers’ money is spent on service delivery, not on ‘Millionaire Managers’.
