Claims of G20 Sabotage
Claims of sabotage related to the G20 are unhelpful and disingenuous.
The real issue lies in the mismanagement of Johannesburg and the inability to put a plan in place to protect it.
As a metropolitan municipality, Johannesburg has access to the South African Police Services and the metro police, yet it struggles to stop vandals and saboteurs.
- Infrastructure theft has been a long-standing problem.
- Illegal electricity connections and copper cable theft are significant issues.
Ignoring the last 10 years and expecting us to believe that the bashing of street lights is some sort of protest action ahead of the G20 is not credible.
The narrative that these actions are recent and related to the G20 is not believable.
Author's summary: Mismanagement of Johannesburg is the real issue.
