Inter-ministerial committee established to deal with 'Alexandra renewal'
DURBAN - An inter-ministerial committee had been established to deal with Alexandra's renewal programme, the national department of cooperative governance and traditional affairs said on Tuesday.
President Cyril Ramaphosa visited Alexandra township - just outside Sandton - on Thursday last week, following days of protest action by residents mobilising using #AlexTotalShutdown on social media. Other issues included the proliferation of illegal shacks and other structures in contravention of by-laws and failure to enforce by-laws.
The statement said the inter-ministerial team would "interface" with MECs from provincial and local government as well as Johannesburg mayor Herman Mashaba.
