EFF slams Herman Mashaba for citizen's arrest of man selling cow heads
14 November 2018
The EFF has slammed Johannesburg Mayor Herman Mashaba over the arrest of informal traders in that city.
"The EFF in Johannesburg is disappointed with the mayor's alien attitudes towards small entrepreneurs doing business in the city and strongly condemns the continued arrest of informal traders," the party said in a statement.
This follows a tweet by Mashaba on Monday in which he claimed he had made his first citizen's arrest, after a man was nabbed for pushing a trolley filled with around 20 cow heads through central Johannesburg.
The move was met with mixed reaction on social media.
