ALEXANDRA – MMC to visit the community of Alax to asses the situation.
The MMC for Public Safety Michael Sun will visit Alexandra after protests erupted on 3 April.
The community of Alexandra took to the streets to vent their anger at the lack of service delivery.
Leaders of the #AlexTotalShutdown have apologised to the residents who could not go to work due to the protest but maintained that the shutdown was necessary.
Addressing members of the community, Sandile Mavundla urged residents of Alexandra to intensify their campaign but remain peaceful.
“We apologise to those of you who could not go to work because of the shutdown. However, we are not going to stop our fight for better service delivery, instead, we will continue until this arrogant municipality listens to us. We are tired of being a Mandela Day project and voters who do not benefit from the government,” he said.
