Ekurhuleni mayor Tania Campbell has called for calm in Tembisa as a second person was shot dead during a protest on Monday.

“I call for calm to immediately be restored in Tembisa. Citizens have the constitutional right to protest, however,acts of arson and vandalism to public infrastructure will not be tolerated,’’ said Campbell in a statementhigh municipal rates and power cuts. They also torched government infrastructure.

Campbell said she had delegated five members of the mayoral committee last week to engage residents on the memorandum they submitted to the city. “However, that meeting unfortunately collapsed and failed to reach any resolutions. I will be contacting the premier of Gauteng through our inter-governmental relations channels to develop a coordinated approach to the impasse by government,” said Campbell.

“As a multi-party coalition government we are concerned that the visuals we are witnessing in Tembisa are no longer community-based but rather a well-orchestrated operation to render the township ungovernable. We believe that the current destruction of public infrastructure is politically motivated and intended to undermine the progress of the new administration.

I don't understand how she can be so busy with other things, whilst her business is the very same people, how do you say you are busy? You knew what was coming and you were naive and arrogant! Passing the buck! You should have attended to them day one🤷

When the leader is of a certain race🏳️, or is in cahoots with Stellenbosch, it has to be orchestrated 🧐

The Nonsense. People have their agency to express their frustrations as they see fit... This DA coalition gvt is just suffering from bad timing. Increasing costs of services at this time is just a terrible idea and its only a white major from the burbs would not see that.

Ekhurhuleni mayor says Tembisa protests are orchestratedEkurhuleni mayor Tania Campbell has called for calm in Tembisa as a second person was shot dead during a protest on Monday. Yeah orchestrated by lack of service delivery Yes orchestrated by her crazy electricity bill, today I compared my CoJ vs CoE -big difference from a colleague. I agree with her position, we saw this orchestrated anarchy in KZN, Howick a few weeks ago and there was some attempts to mobilize in in Jhb at the same time. It clearly an ANC tactic to create a distraction and in the process people lose lives. ANC is just a criminal org.
