Good decision, the City is filthy, those gardens we were used to chill at are gone, at night it is dark, streets are torn, you can see there was no planning . Hope administrator is not one of Ace's stooges. Not Radikonsana please. Even the Province needs administrator.

Ace must be so proud!!! The ANC delivers!!!!!
