Ekurhuleni Mayor Tania Campbell has apologised to Tembisa residents

Ekurhuleni Mayor Tania Campbell has apologised to Tembisa residents for not addressing their grievances previously saying that she was not avoiding meeting them but was getting ready to bring them tangible solutions.

Campbell has also promised to resolve incorrect billing while warning municipality officials involved in bribery and corruption that she was coming for them.

She was speaking to the residents at Mehlareng Stadium in the Ekurhuleni township this morning under heavy police guard.

This after a violent service delivery protest that erupted from Monday with angry residents in protest over “expensive” rates, taxes and high electricity bills.

The protest was triggered by Campbell’s failure to pitch for a meeting last Friday. She instead sent her mayoral committee members.

Campbell promised to resolve the billing issues and provide 50% write off debts for Tembisa residents.

The community expressed jubilation at the new developments.
