ANC head of elections Fikile Mbalula. FILE PHOTO: Nokuthula Mbatha/African News Agency ANC head of elections Fikile Mbalula took to Twitter to chastise Johannesburg mayor Herman Mashaba for having “failed the people of Alex”.
In all caps, Mbalula took Mashaba to task for alleged “failed programs, failed governance, failed leadership”. He also added several hashtags, asking “Where is Mashaba?” and alleging that the mayor was missing in action. “Mayor Mashaba is always present on the ground in Alex, and has invested significantly,” the party’s Gauteng Twitter account continued.EFF leader Julius Malema also reacted to Mbalula’s tweet, albeit through a retweet rather than directly.
