ACDP applauds the peaceful protest march by Mamelodi hostel residents and says "shame on you" to the Tshwane Metro Municipality
We
do not understand why the Tshwane Metropolitan Municipality does not
see to the basic services request of the Mamelodi hostel residents. How
difficult can it be to fix the leaking sewerage pipes at the hostels
and how difficult can it be to supply refuse bins and how difficult can
it be to remove refuse in the area?
The human dignity of the
residents is ignored by not doing anything to improve their situation.
What message is the ANC-led Council sending to the residents of the
hostels in Mamelodi?
Their implicit message is: "You are not
worth it, we are not concerned about you even though you gave us your
vote!" The ANC is failing in its election promise of "a better
life for all". These people are living in worse conditions than
in '94.
The ACDP therefore would like to congratulate the
residents of the Mamelodi Hostels for their discipline and for the
peaceful manner in which their protest march took place on Saturday
morning.
Working towards Godly Governance...
