AlexTotalShutdown: A mayor shouldn't be scared of his people - Ramaphosa
JOHANNESBURG - President Cyril Ramaphosa on Thursday said it was the responsibility of the DA-led City of Johannesburg to clean-up Alexandra township and ensure residents had adequate sanitation.
Raw sewerage has been flowing through some of the streets of Alex and rubbish strewn in the area poses a potential health threat. Mashaba and the EFF have said that the protests are part of an ANC plot to throw the area into disarray before next month's general election. Mashaba has indicated he will visit Alex on Monday.
Ramaphosa said government had an obligation to ensure that there were no illegal occupants who unlawfully built or erected structures on land.
