Joburg Mayor Herman Mashaba decided to finally meet with the residents of Alexandra on Monday evening at the Marlboro Community Hall.
The meeting became chaotic after residents sang and disrupted the meeting, while the Total Shutdown leader Sandile Mavundla tried to calm the residents down so the programme could start.
When the situation settled down a representative of the Alex community read the memorandum.
Part of the memorandum read: "you politicians must stop pointing fingers at each other, we want service delivery."
However, it didn’t take long for the meeting to be interrupted again as some residents tore apart the Integrated Development Plan (IDP) papers that were distributed at the meeting detailing what Mashaba had planned for Alex.

We see your tricks @CyrilRamaphosa. We are voting you out in Gauteng.#Alexshutdown
How do I know that the ANC disrupted the #HermanMashaba meeting?

They tore up the IDP plan.
The community of Alex (the real community) wants solutions, and wants to listen to @HermanMashaba.
They understand that he governs until at least 2021. #AlexShutDown
Those who are still at the community hall are ANC members and they were sent there only to disrupt and not to represent the community of #Alexandra.#HermanMashaba#HolaMatamela#AlexTotalShutdown#AlexShutdown

The #JoburgIDP19 is very important for the community so that they can hear what is the real way forward. Not the lies told by @CyrilRamaphosa. The real community left because they wanted to hear what the Mayor had to say.#HolaMatamela#HermanMashaba#AlexShutDown#Alexandra

This chaos is caused and led by the ANC, #HermanMashaba wants to help and listen to the people of Alex. This is part of the ANC plan no doubt! #Askaman

I am impressed that #HermanMashaba went prepared. Papers, plans and everything. Now the people must just let him speak. #AlexShutDown
