South Africa: Alexandra residents consider taking protests to Sandton to get mayor's attention By News24

Speaker after speaker at a community meeting on Friday morning vented their frustration at poor service delivery and slow change.

“We have mushrooming illegal land invasion, poor service delivery because of you. We want the dignity of Alexandra back,” shouted one woman across the hall.“We are accused of not paying for services whenever we demand services. Mashaba is failing us. He is encouraging land invasion which is going on unabated daily,” said a male speaker.

“He is living in his own island and pretends not to know about problems that we have been raising with office for a while now. “Mr President it is your own party that has hijacked the legitimate grievances of this community ahead of the elections. It is, in fact, the ANC that promised the world to the community of Alexandra and delivered nothing for two decades,” he wrote in the statement.
