Alexandra residents are calling on government to take action over poor service delivery and are threatening to bring the township to its knees.
JOHANNESBURG – Despite the heavy downpours on Monday morning, Alexandra residents are gearing up for their march to Sandton to protest a lack of services.
DA Gauteng premier candidate Solly Msimanga said: “When do we begin or when do we stop to blame? Until the legacy is addressed. You can’t stop. Alex now will need billions. The problems have been led to grow.” Police have already started arriving at Sankopano, which is the meeting point ahead of Monday’s march.
