DA leader Mmusi Maimane said his party cannot be blamed for the lack of service delivery in the troubled area.
JOHANNESBURG - There's been a war of words between the African National Congress and Democratic Alliance over the shut down in Alexandra in northern Johannesburg.
But Ward 105 councillor Tefo Rapapu, of the ANC, said Johannesburg Major Herman Mashaba should stop what he calls political rhetoric. Thirty-three people on the governing party's list of candidates were flagged by members of the public who made submissions to the IEC over allegations of wrongdoing including rape, fraud and corruption.
The IEC’s Sy Mamabolo said: “Part of the process if to afford parties whose candidates have been objected to and opportunity for them to respond. I think this is part of our principles of justice.”
