The African National Congress (ANC) in Johannesburg has expressed concern over allegations made against two of its members in a plot to sabotage Johannesburg Mayor Dada Morero.
This follows media reports that two unidentified ANC mayoral committee members had been conspiring with a Rand Water official to destabilise his leadership.
According to the allegations, the ongoing water shortages may be a calculated move to destabilise Morero’s administration, rather than a result of infrastructure failures.
“As the ANC, we are urging The Star to involve law enforcement in this particular issue but also to make the recordings public so that we know who these officials of the ANC are so that we are able to take action. We cannot in any form or shape tolerate any acts of sabotage to the Executive Mayor but also to the City of Johannesburg,” says ANC Johannesburg spokesperson, Masilo Serekele.
