When does "temporary" become permanent?
Another open excavation. Another danger to residents.
Barrier tape is not a solution. Residents pay for services and deserve repairs that are completed safely and without unnecessary delays.
Reported to the City: 6001476789.
JUST IN! Mayor Moya files affidavit against City Manager, says "It wasn't me" and hides away.
Tshwane Mayor Moya has filed a responding affidavit against suspended City Manager Johan Mettler where she seeks to absolve herself from any responsibility in his suspension.
In a 15 page submission with another 100 pages of useless annexures, Moya has effectively said "Woe is me, I am a victim of circumstance".
She refuses to comment on legitimacy of Council vote (it was a shambles), and complains she didnt have enough time to file (she waited until everyone else filed🙄)
Moya effectively takes zero position. Her ANC/EFF partners will be irritated. Just waffling about her role as a mayor and what is expected of her.
"Yes I wrote the report to council to suspend the City Manager. Yes the report might be flawed and nonsense. I don't know if Council vote was legitimate (she does). Yes I served him with a suspension letter.
Oh well, now he is suspended what are we to do."
Proper weak sauce stuff this.
Definitely the meekest affidavit filed so far. Nothing of substance. Wonder how much the lawyers charged.
🚨 No one is above the law.
Consistent pressure, and now results!
The arrest of former Ekurhuleni City Manager Imogen Mashazi is a step towards accountability.
The DA has consistently fought to expose corruption and ensure those accused of looting public funds face justice.
Watch as the DA welcomes this development and reaffirms our commitment to rooting out corruption in Ekurhuleni.
💙 Together we can build a future where every young person has equal opportunities for jobs and where every talent has the space to flourish.

Johannesburg loses all automated speed cameras — another ANC service delivery failure.
Seven months after the City of Johannesburg’s contract with Syntell lapsed in December 2025, not a single automated traffic speed camera is working. No replacement service provider has been appointed.
This means lost revenue for the city and increased danger on our roads as speeding goes unpunished.
The ANC-led City of Joburg continues to collapse under poor management and corruption.
The DA has repeatedly warned about these failures. A DA-led government would immediately restore critical enforcement systems and ensure Johannesburg works for its residents.

Lesufi continues to shield corrupt senior officials by refusing to disclose lifestyle audits completed in 2023.
Same secrecy as the redacted 177 forensic reports.
DA has taken this to the Information Regulator.
Residents deserve the truth.

Tshwane Speaker fires back at Mettler, ignores legality of Council vote, argues against urgency.
The Tshwane speaker has filed a affidavit trying to justify the suspension of Tshwane's City Manager. Except his play is clear. He knows the council vote was illegal, his argument is against urgency.
Yes, the Tshwane Council Speaker makes zero attempt to justify why when 92 legitimate votes were cast to stop suspension, he arbitrarily disallowed 13 votes. Zero by-laws quoted. Just making it seem like he has broad discretionary powers to do this. He doesn't.
Instead the desperation of the ANC/EFF/ActionSA coalition is seen in their attempts to argue against urgency. They know the vote was illegal and they will lose.
They just want the courts to uphold the suspension, so the City Manager stays out of the city until the election. All they want the courts to say is "This isn't urgent."
Why? Why are the ANC/EFF/ActionSA coalition so desperate to keep the City Manager out the city?
It is indeed a "witch hunt". A desperate flailing around and attack on a good man. An overt and explicit attempt at city capture in capital.
Enabled by a hapless mayor who is more comfortable bullying informal traders than standing up for what is right.
It will not be so much a collision as a complete bulldozing that takes effect. The affidavits submitted by Solidarity and the DA absolutely evicerate the shambles that was the attempt to remove this man by office.
As the ANC and EFF celebrated, the best ActionSA Mayor Moya could do was issue out a meek statement saying "it is what it is, oh well, let me go back to bullying informal traders"
Good. The Mayor and MMC for Transport were quiet as mice when this happened. Still haven't said anything or acknowledged this man's tragic and avoidable death.
They can account in Council.
Dilo stofong! 🔥
The DA is at work fixing the neglected responsibilities of the ANC/ActionSA/EFF coalition in Tshwane.
