Disgruntled members of the MKMVA (uMKhonto we Sizwe Military Veteran Association) staged a sit in and picketed outside the Sedibeng District Municipality’s offices in Vereeniging on Monday morning demanding Executive Mayor Simon Mahole Mofokeng explain their eviction from the RDP houses which they were allocated and later removed without an alternative residence.
Picketers were left with an egg on their faces when they were told that the mayor was in a meeting and couldn’t listen nor attend to their demands.
“We are not happy with how our government treat us and it is so sad to hear an official say they will give attention only to MKMVA, what about us as APLA? Didn’t we contribute equally for the country in our struggle for freedom? This goes to show that the ANC-led government don’t recognise the PAC” said Johannes Tolo, member of APLA.
Addressing them Sedibeng Municipality Chief Whip Christina Sale said “The matter is beyond our control hence the Housing MEC Humphrey Memezi will be here on Wednesday to attend to the matter.”
