Heartbreak As "Xenophobic" Johannesburg Mayor Resigns by TMKsouth: 8:36am On Oct 22, 2019
Author: TMKsouth

Arguably the most popular city mayor in South Africa, Herman Mashaba has called it quits after running Johannesburg for just 3 years. Mashaba is a self-made millionaire businessman who entered politics a few years ago to rescue the country from Jacob Zuma's misrule.

He is best known for his financial reforms for the city and his clarion call to restore social order in the notoriously dangerous inner-city (CBD). He adopted a tough stance on illegal migration both into the City of Johannesburg and South Africa as a whole, and worked to wrestle back 100s of hijacked buildings which had since fallen into disrepair and had turn into crime and drug dens.

FAMOUS MASHABA QUOTES

1. On Recent Xenophobic Attacks

“There is nothing to apologise for. We have a responsibility to get the president and home affairs to do something. What would anyone want me to apologise for?

“The country owes an official apology to the million unemployed South Africans who are today without jobs as a result of billions of counterfeit goods being brought illegally into the country, killing local manufacturing.”



2. On African Migrants in Johannesburg


“Perhaps the time has come for the South African government to be bold enough to engage with the leaders of each of the nations whose people are here, and ask them what they are doing to improve conditions in their countries so that their citizens no longer see it necessary to enter other countries illegally,”

Mashaba quit as mayor on Monday due to internal squabbles within his political party, the Democratic Alliance (DA). Here's how some South Africans reacted:

MWhen you focus on external factors as the cause of your problems when the true cause is internal, you automatically place yourself on a self destruct mode.

"In all years I have known Helen zille,including reading extensively about her beautiful life ,anyone calling her a racist is actually a racist herself or himself". Hairman Mashaya. grin. He said this in March 2019.

The same Mashaba in October 2019 resignes from the non racial party because of racial tensions spearheaded by the same " struggle icon " herself grin. Clever blacks are some of the most dumbest people on earth I swear grin. They can only fool the blind followers of 702 agents like Redi( miss -Khwezi could have lied about the rape grin) Tlabi, not the majority of Africans.

I'm waiting for the announcement that he will be joining fellow coon - malema " to help rescue the city from capitalists ". grin. Or him fronting a new party with fellow agent phumzile karate-woman and them grin. Satafrica tire me grin. There are idiots who will actually buy this little breakup and feel for these stooges , but like the 0.9% Lekota got in the last elections, theirs will must be worsegrin. Bloody agents of darkness grin.
