The community of Alexandra has promised to continue with their total shutdown today, after Joburg mayor Herman Mashaba failed to attend a meeting he was allegedly invited to,One of the protest organisers, Sandile Mavundla, confirmed that residents would shut down every road entering Alexandra, which will include the N3 London off-ramp, Marlboro exit and M1.
Mavundla said he could not give more details of the shutdown to the media because it might compromise their plans.“I have noted erroneous reports that I was due to engage the residents of Alexandra today. I believe this has been maliciously reported, as I was due to lead a civic funeral in the city of Johannesburg at the same time, and could not have made such a commitment,” said Mashaba.
“I will be leading engagement with the people of Alexandra regarding their grievances. I have done so on many occasions in the past, and I am certain, I will on many occasions in the future.” Earlier last week, Alexandra residents embarked on protest action against poor service delivery, high levels of crime and the issue of illegal land use, among other issues.

'I deeply sympathise with challenges experienced by residents of Alex' - Joburg mayor MashabaAlexTotalShutdown: Joburg mayor Herman Mashaba blamed the “previous administration” for the housing plight facing Alexandra residents Exactly what the ANC sometimes does when they blame apartheid But when he is delivering houses built by the previous administration, he doesn’t give them the accolades. If MYANC blames apartheid for all the wrongs of multiple decades, it's called an excuse, but Our_DA can blame the ANC for two decades. Mind you: the DA was part of the Apartheid regime.

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.

Alex residents vow to shutdown SandtonAlexandra residents have threatened to bring Sandton to a standstill on Monday morning. In this rain? What about pneumonia? Bunch of ignoramus idiots. They claimed this was going to be a peaceful protest. Where the ANC and EFF is involved, nothing is peaceful. Let's see how much destruction they create and how much looting will take place Why dont they clean up their own area before making a mess of another? Alex is a shithole. This is the problem in SA, these people are brainless and think destroying things provides money for other things. The 70 IQ is evident.
