Say no to Themba Motsepe as mayor
The Issue
In the Obed Nkosi section, we have been tirelessly dealing with the housing crisis, believing that everyone deserves a safe and affordable place to call home. However, under the leadership of Themba Motsepe, the situation has become unbearable. Allegations have surfaced regarding corruption in the selling of houses, with individuals from Free State, Vaal, and Balfour being favoured over local residents. This unethical practice is not only depriving rightful locals of housing but also escalating crime rates in Ratanda.
The impacts of these decisions are far-reaching. Families in our community are left without homes, forced into cramped and unsafe living conditions. The promise of new housing developments has been tarnished by these shady dealings, leaving many hopeless and in despair. The lack of transparency and accountability under the current leadership is alarming and requires immediate attention.
We cannot sit idly by while our community suffers. It is time for change, and it begins with saying no to Themba Motsepe as mayor. We need leadership that is committed to ethical governance, transparency, and prioritizing the needs of our local community.
We call upon local authorities and stakeholders to investigate these allegations thoroughly and ensure that future housing projects are conducted with integrity, prioritizing the rightful residents of our area. By uniting, we can make a difference and bring about the change we so desperately need.
Join us in taking a stand for a fair and just housing system in Ratanda. Your signature can make a significant impact. Please sign this petition and help us fight for a better future.
