‘Councillors are using the community to fight ANC leadership’
} Tladi Moloi
QWAQWA. – Vusi Tshabalala, the executive mayor of the Maluti-a-Phofung Local Municipality, has slammed his ward councillors saying they are the ones who encourage the community to embark on illegal marches demanding his dismissal. He said he is aware of people who do not like him and warned that it was not them, but the ANC, that elected him to the mayoral position because of the good job he did. “You must be honest with yourself. I am dying for the sins that I don’t know about. Things were already bad when I arrived in this municipality. But today the ANC councillors are using the community to fight the party’s leadership,” he said. The angry and vocal Tshabalala spoke at the recent Maluti-a-Phofung closed-circuit television (CCTV) camera launch at the Fire Department in Mandela Park, Qwaqwa. Before he embarked on his rant, Tshabalala quoted Psalm 23 from the Bible, which reads: Jehova ke modisa wa ka, nke ke ka hloka letho. O mphomotsa makgulong a matala, o ntsamaisa pela metsi a kgutsitseng. O hlabolla moya wa ka; o ntsamaisa mehlaleng ya ho loka, ka baka la lebitso la hae. Leha nka tsamaya kgohlong ya moriti wa lefu, nke ke ka tshoha bobe leha bo le bong, hobane o na le nna; lere la hao le seikokotlelo sa hao ke tsona tse ntshedisang. O teka tafole pela ka, pontsheng ya dira tsa ka; o tlotsitse hlooho ya ka ka ole, mohope wa ka o a kgaphatseha. Ruri, lehlohonolo le mohau di ntse di ntatela ka ditshiu tsohle tsa ho phela ha ka, mme ke tla nne ke hlole ka tlung ya Jehova kamehla. He said he was aware of those who provoked the leadership and added that it was nothing new because they had done it before to the president, Jacob Zuma. “It is easy for the ANC to get rid of the councillors who don’t respect the leadership. The year 2016 is coming, you will be out because you’re using our people,” he said. He urged the youth to stop being misled by the councillors. “You must stop listening to old people who have wasted their time in making a life for our people. They are now using you to burn tires and block the roads. The ANC has been in power for 20 years and some have been bragging to us that they have been councillors for 15 years. But the question is what have you done?” said the angry mayor. ) Give us you view on our Facebook page or visit express-news.co.za for comment.
