1 February 2019

As unsurprising as it is, it is still disappointing that public representatives elected to serve the people of Tshwane, which includes participating in Council, chose to disregard that mandate in a failed attempt to score cheap political points.

The ANC and the EFF were throwing their toys out the cot because they failed to get their way.
