The ANC in Johannesburg has slammed mayor Herman Mashaba, accusing him of “promoting illegality” when he promised to rebuild around 80 homes in Alexandra township that were demolished last week.

The ANC has hit back at Mashaba, labelling him a"pseudo head of the city" who was placing political expediency and the DA's alliance with the EFF above law and order in the Johannesburg.

Matongo said the about-turn by Mashaba was nothing but cheap politicking."The mayor has made it bare that he is so oblivious to the affairs of the municipality that a court order obtained by the city would easily fly under his radar," he said. Matongo said it was concerning that Mashaba would defy a court order, which cost the city money to enforce through the hiring of the Red Ants.

Fucken hell! They are hypocrites!!! Is this organization leading us? Think of the families, those kids without a roof. Rules were there to be bent because humanity come before political ball games! Build them whatever and later look at a more permanent solution!

Give them an alternative and stop bluffing

Ur out of order sowetan

If he can build them it will be good because those families need shelter. Whoever gave that order to demolish those houses must be dealt with.

That's nonsense go on Mashaba building those houses which were demolished by constitutional delinquents..

The Alexandria community& shutdown committee demanded all illegal houses to removed & what now Mashaba?

GwalaBnews this clown when he open his mouth is MYANC

He must not build on the ilegal land

Illegal shacks were demolished and now Herman is building legal housing for the people. So where is the problem? Herman cannot leave the people homeless and living on the street

I really think our politicians need to show maturity and start working together for the good of the people instead of point scoring at every opportunity. Elections is over and they no longer canvassing for votes at this point.

According this statement ANC Demolished the structures in Alex Wake-up poor people you keep voting them In Lenasia once did this history in Alex repeating itself

The ANC don't like it when something good comes from another party.They would rather let our people suffer

Irony from ANC

Herman is not relevant for black people, he was pleasing white people by demolition houses for poor after he is trying to justify himself by acting like he doesn't know nothing about that. Infect he was retaliating against Alex residents who demanded him 2be removed,DA is a mess.

It says a lot that ANC is the one that behind these demolitions.

I actually thought I heard wrong when he said he will rebuild the shacks, kudlalwa ngaBantu base Alex, by both parties

So the ANC DOES support those demolitions...

To me he doesn't see the trouble on this things it will cost him bad

What ANC integrity commission report says about David MabuzaThe ANC's integrity commission's scathing report delayed the swearing-in of the party's deputy president David Mabuza as MP last week. Sowetan has seen a copy of the report signed by the Integrity commission's chairperson George Mashamba, and it is scathing on senior party leaders for ignoring the party's 2017 Nasrec elective conference resolutions by failing to subject themselves before it. Ace Magashule is such a joke though 💩 This guys ANC , they think we are all stupid, they are mistaken, this thing of DD and integrity commission, nothing was going to happen, they are trying to convince the citizens of SA that they are doing something about corruption while we know that they are all corrupt
