We cannot remain silent while the government neglects the City of Johannesburg, where various parties — including the ANC, EFF, Patriotic Alliance, ActioSA and Al Jama-ah — are in government.
Adjacent to the council chambers, the municipal buildings are being stripped and occupied by vagrants, who are illegally occupying the premises. Inside, the looting continues unabated, with damage now estimated at R1bn.
Unfortunately, it is the taxpayers of Johannesburg who will bear the financial burden of these damages. In light of this situation I urge the community to take a stand against the misuse of taxpayer money.
It is time we advocated for responsible stewardship of our resources and work towards building a better SA.
