Mashaba’s take on commissions

Johannesburg mayor Herman Mashaba may have let slip what he really thought of the commission when he retweeted a post rubbishing commissions of inquiry initiated by the ANC government.

“These commissions are expensive legal spectacles put on the by the ANC to give the South African people an illusion of democracy. They are trying to make us feel like we are in control of government, when we all know ANC officials are exempt from accountability and prosecution.”
