AlexTotalShutdown: Mashaba 'deeply sympathises' with protesters
Alexandra - City of Johannesburg mayor Herman Mashaba on Wednesday responded to the service delivery protest currently underway in Alexandra, saying he "deeply sympathised" with the challenges faced by residents.
"Indeed, during the local government elections of 2016, the ANC, province and the previous administration committed to providing investment into the area so as to address housing challenges and development in the area. He also confirmed that the city had already begun its inner revitalisation project "aimed at creating affordable housing opportunities for those in our poorest communities. In addition we have made room for development within the City through budget allocations in our adjustment budget".
