MKP mayoral candidate blasts ANC mayor Morero over profanity
However, Morero issued an unconditional apology after losing his temper during a community meeting
Bongani Baloyi, the candidate from the MKP party vying for the Johannesburg mayoral seat, has harshly criticized the current ANC mayor, Dada Morero, for his frequent use of vulgar language. In contrast, Morero later expressed remorse over losing his composure during a community gathering. Baloyi spoke at a press conference in Umhlanga, a suburb just north of Durban, on Friday.
"Our primary goal is to assure the citizens of Johannesburg that they are deserving of a leader who is credible, holds high ethical standards, and will show respect for the mandate given to them," he stated. "Over the next few days and weeks, we will jump into action to prove that we are capable of transforming a city that is both intricate and distinctive."
The current mayor of Johannesburg, Dada Morero, has since apologized for his outbursts following a heated verbal altercation with a resident during a City Power Tshepisong Electricity Imbizo in Soweto.
