Johannesburg - City of Johannesburg Mayor Herman Mashaba was unapologetic on Thursday about his views on foreigners.
Speaking at a DA press briefing on developments in its four metros, Mashaba said under his leadership, the City will never build houses for foreign nationals.
"Right now, if anyone expects me, when I build houses, [to provide] free accommodation, I can assure you, preference is going to be given to South Africans who have been on the waiting lists," he said.
Mashaba said he would not give his limited resources to build free houses for foreigners.
"I don't run the city of the world. It's official, its unapologetic, not a cent of the money will be used to build houses for the world."
The City has come under fire recently for evicting people from hijacked buildings.
