Residents want councillor removed

A group of angry residents of Greenfields Extension 5, Eden Park, and Thina Zonke marched to Clr Gladstone Zide's office, shouting: ''Away with Zide, Zide must go”.

EDEN PARK – The aim of the march, on May 19, was to hand over a memorandum of demands, which included the removal of the Ward 53 councillor, and that he hands over of his office keys.

Residents also demanded the release of all those arrested for the assault of Zide, that took place on March 27.

Attached to the latest memorandum was a copy of the demands first made on February 18, when another march, also aimed at the removal of the councillor, was undertaken.

MMC for Water and Energy Doctor Xhakaza, accepted the last memorandum.

He praised the residents and organisers for the orderly and peaceful march and promised to respond within seven days.

The crowd dispersed peacefully.
