Joburg mayor Dada Morero apologises after telling Tshepisong resident not to ‘talk sh**t’
Johannesburg Mayor Dada Morero has apologised for losing his temper and telling a Tshepisong resident he was “talking sh**t” during a heated community meeting over electricity challenges.
Johannesburg Mayor Dada Morero has publicly apologized for his remarks made during a heated electricity meeting in the Tshepisong township. The incident transpired at the Abundant Faith Christian Centre, where Morero clashed with a resident over a derogatory comment. The city's power utility, City Power, withdrew technical restoration and maintenance services due to illegal connections, vandalism, and sabotage.
The meeting aimed to address residents' concerns and update them on improvements. However, tensions escalated, and Morero was heard telling the resident, "You're talking sh*t." Morero later issued a heartfelt apology for his behavior, acknowledging that it was inappropriate and taking full responsibility. Opposition parties, particularly the Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF), condemned Morero's conduct as unbecoming of an executive mayor and criticized his leadership.
