Johannesburg mayor Herman Mashaba was heckled by angry Alexandra residents on Monday during a meeting called to address service delivery concerns. A rowdy group in ANC regalia first disrupted the meeting by singing and then tearing up documentation on the Integrated Development Plan (IDP) plan. Some then pelted Mashaba and his delegation with papers and empty water bottles. Mashaba was expected to present the IDP plan on Tuesday evening at the Marlboro Community Centre in Marlboro Gardens. Last week residents took to the streets as part of the so-called #AlexTotalShutDown protests, raising issues of poor service delivery including housing and crime.
