Members of LASCA and residents of Tshwane protest at Tshwane House
By Tshepo Mahlangu
President of LASCA
The residents of Tshwane Marched to Tshwane House building on the 29th of May 2025 during Council sitting where they were debating Budget presented by MMC of Finance Cllr Eugene Modise.
The turn out by the residents was huge especially by Youth from various Regions seeking employment and business opportunities from the fully funded budget.
The Memorandum of Demands was accepted and signed by the Deputy Mayor /MMC of Finance Cllr Eugene Modise in full view of other MAYCO members and the residents.
The Deputy Mayor made a commitment to respond to the Memorandum of Demands within 14 days legislated time frame.
We are awaiting the feedback to meet with City of Tshwane Municipality.
In the meantime, the 31st of May 2025 Deadline for Amnesty and Debt Relief Program won’t affected the residents who Marched to Tshwane House building.
The Debt Relief Program of R10 Billion Rands is just a Scam by the Municipality towards the residents, quoted Mr. Tshepo Mahlangu when reading the contents of the Memorandum of Demands.
City of Tshwane MMC’s came out to received a memorandum
The Demand is clear that the residents of Tshwane want to see Debts Scrapped and removed.
The only disturbing incident that occurred in full view of SAPS, was the manner in which ANC Cllr from Ward 62 in Atteridgeville Cllr Esther Masuku continually provoked members of LASCA and attempted to assault one of the female marchers.
It is not for the first time we are provoked by this same Cllrs during public meetings.
We therefore decided to launch a formal complaint against her.
We maintain our stance that when Politicians Pool wool on Resident’s eyes, the Officials throw Banana Peels on the Ground
We will hold Tshwane Municipality to account in consistent with Section 152. 1 (b) and Debtors Book Strategic Pilar 5
LASCA demand a City that ignite Excellence not Corruption.
We brought Solutions which we hope will be implemented in accordance with AG report.
We won’t foot the wrong Bills incurred through fraudulent activities by the Municipality.
Debt Relief Program and Amnesty introduced by the Municipality is just a Big Scam, since they refer to the wrong fabricated Debtors Book.
