PATRIOTIC Alliance leader Gayton McKenzie has threatened to pull his party out of the Government of National Unity (GNU) and the Johannesburg coalition. He cited what he called disrespect from coalition partners and the alleged sidelining of his deputy, Kenny Kunene. McKenzie is kwaad because of the delay to reinstate Kunene as the City of Johannesburg’s transport MMC, and the PA accuses Joburg Mayor Dada Morero of dragging his feet.

Gutted The resident said: “We want service delivery – that’s all. The clinic wasn’t our target.

Action She explained: “When we went to chain ourselves at the gates of Parliament, it wasn’t just for us and our community. It was for women and children across the Cape where gang violence is taking over. “We feel that a plan of action needs to be implemented by the Minister of Police. If we are not noticed then I will go and chain myself again to the gates of Parliament until they take note of us.” Another resident also said that she is feeling better and safer in her community.
