AFTER Joburg Mayor Herman Mashaba failed to meet with Alex resident, president Cyril Ramaphosa has gone to the township and addressed them.
Ramaphosa gave directives to the national and rovincial government to meet with the #AlexTotalShoutDown committee to address their issues next week.
Addressing the community of Alex, Ramaphosa explained that when there are issues at local government, the president isn’t the responsible person to directly deal with that.
“The president delegates officials at local government to go deal with the issues,” he said.
“So this is the reason I said he must be the first official to be at Alex, (referring to Herman Mashaba) because he is the mayor of the city,” Ramaphosa explained.
However, Mzansi believes Ramaphosa wasn’t in Alexandra as the president of the country, but as the president of the African National Congress.
Mzansi took to social media to voice their concerns saying: “he went to Alex to campaign for himself, he didn’t come as the president of RSA to hear the residents' grievances it’s all about the ANC.”
While others said “I thought the president was going to address challenges facing Alex, ganti it turns out to be a Gauteng ANC rally.”
