City of Johannesburg Mayor Dada Morero has apologised after telling a Tshepisong resident not to “talk sh**t” during a heated electricity imbizo in the Roodepoort township.
The incident occurred on Thursday at the Abundant Faith Christian Centre during a meeting led by the city’s power utility, City Power.
Also in attendance were MMC for the Environment and Infrastructure Services Department Jack Sekwaila, City Power acting CEO Charles Tlouane and other officials.
The imbizo was held amid concerns raised by residents and local councillors following the initial withdrawal of electricity services in the area.
