Our Executive Mayor tweeted the following yesterday from his Mayor Nqaba Bhanga account; “Today I opened one of the many roads that we have built/refurbished since taking over 10 months ago. We have put up R200 million into roads since taking over. We GET THINGS DONE. #VoteDA“
Why is it wrong?
- He opened the road as part of his official duty representing the entire Metro
- As part of a “non racist, non sexist, freedom of religion’ political party one would be safe to assume that the DA would also accept non-political as a tenet as well
- The colours of the ribbons and safety hats are BLUE – our Metro’s colours are NOT Blue
- He ASSUMES that the DA were the only people advocating for roads to be fixed, fixing the roads and using the roads
- He ASSUMES that the DA put R200 Million into Roads – as if it is the DA’s present to the peasants – and completely forgets that ratepayers across the metro are the ones that put the money up.
