Frustrated residents of Alexandra are planning their next move after the Wednesday shut down that saw residents barricading roads with burning objects.They said that Johannesburg Mayor Herman Mashaba is taking them for granted.
Community leaders said they have on numerous occasions requested the executive mayor to come and see what the township looks like since he took over the administration.
Does anyone know if it will still be safe to enter and exit sandton for work
They will be shot dead! We all know how this government rolls and who's interest they serve.
Over 70% of black communities should be protesting for service delivery like in Alex now hope and patience and love for anc prevent them to engulf the banana republic with protests.
Are Alex people talking to deaf authority or are they simply amok senselessly where is the authority to answer their complains?
The Alex residents are desperate what else are they supposed to do. The only time Government pays attention is when violence is involved and thanks to that we have a culture of violent protests. The people are tired, who will help them?
Does the mayor live in Sandton perhaps? Why not protest directly to the majors office and face the mayor so he can hear their issues. Going to Sandton seems like going off track and trying to prove a completely different point.
Yes because instead of foing to address.them yesterday,Ramampipi rushed passed Alexandra from Ivory Park to Sandton to address his masters.This time their strike is not misdirected.
Political violence
How many of the protesters are South Africans ?
This is government,stop playing with fire!
Anc paying them well I hope.
Where is Rre Ramaphosa? Where is the ANC? the country is on fire!😡😡😡

Alex residents call meeting, Mashaba still a no-showSchools in Alex have remained closed as community members grow impatient with the Joburg mayor's failure to address them. Why should he show up? The idiots acted like thugs by burning, looting, destroying and when tired of it they want him to come and talk. Act like thugs and be treated like thugs. Having service delivering problems, solve it by talking.
