Since 2008 to 2016 with water issues there was no death but now the DA is in charge of Tshwane and was in Joburg for 7 years but still not being Questioned about it's own developments SA news are bias because the ANC inherited this county with people were already poor, education was rubbish, skills were limited to whites a lot was at rot. The ANC has open a lot of doors and a lot of opportunities even in Governance but some used them wisely and others misused them by being corrupted.
