Herman Mashaba attributes his success to privilege: 'I've lived in safe communities'

Becoming a Mayor and being directly confronted by the lived reality of these fellow citizens of my city on a basis shook me to the core. They say I changed, I say a lot changed me https://t.co/oHFCnEWvSH

Thank you. I wish many more could appreciate this simple fact. Just because you are previledge doesn't mean the problems of this country are non-existent. Most of these apartheid beneficiaries are ignorant (to be polite) of this FACT.

👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿 well done for recognizing this, I hope in your circle of business meetings. You will teach your fellow rich black men to stop calling people lazy and invest in our townships business. Thank you for everything ❤️.

Thank you Mr Mayor for your service to the people of Joburg. I am not a citizen of Joburg but praises from people who have first hand experience of your dedicated service reverberate beyond the borders of that city. All the best in your future endeavors.
