This is just boardroom talk - Alex resident reacts to SAHRC, Public Protector inquiry
13 May 2019
A frustrated Alexandra resident says she doesn't have high hopes for the inquiry which the SA Human Rights Commission (SAHRC) and Office of the Public Protector are holding, to look into the community's plight.
"I believe that this is just talk. It's going to be a lot of boardroom talk, a lot of inquiries, but minimal action," Maria Moloi told News24.
Wearing a black T-Shirt bearing the slogan #TotalShutdown@Work, Moloi said residents had been talking for the longest time and nothing had been done for them.
She added this was why many people didn't attend the inquiry, which got under way at 10:45 on Monday at the Eastbank Hall in the area. About 150 people attended.
