Johannesburg mayor Kabelo Gwamanda has taken a swipe at those claiming he went Awol, saying there is a fine distinction between fact and fiction, service delivery and grandstanding.
Gwamanda said it was important to establish the blurred distinction between news reports and what he called “sponsored narratives”.
The mayor said he would demonstrate through action that he is more than capable of governing effectively. They practically looted the engine, the gearbox and wheels. Mine is not a BMW but an inherited city in tattersHe took a swipe at ActionSA caucus leader Funzi Ngobeni's comment that he has inherited a BMW vehicle due to his mayoral seat. Gwamanda said the role of opposition is seemingly becoming more difficult by the day when the only thing councillors can point out is the inheritance of something as trivial as a car.
“They practically looted the engine, the gearbox and wheels. Mine is not a BMW but an inherited city in tatters,” he said.
