The DA notes with concern the violent protest and closure of Golden Highway in the Sebokeng local municipality, today.
While the DA recognises people’s right to protest we condemn violence and vandalism.
The residents of Sebokeng are simply fed up with the ANC allegedly dishing out jobs to their members in the Sebokeng Municipality and in particular the Sebokeng Water Works project.
The DA will write to the Gauteng MEC for Cooperative Governance, Paul Mashatile, and demand that he intervenes.
The ANC must stop using jobs to buy votes and support. This practice is unsustainable and has a disastrous impact on service delivery.
