MMC Matshidiso Mfikoe (bottom picture), those are exposed live wires. In future do not come close to live wires. Those wires have a potential of taking you to heaven (or hell if you are not a honest politician). Report Abuse

It is like only the media can shake the Authorities, if you go there by yourself and try telling them your problems they can't help you. So I advise everyone with problems go to Sowetan, Sun and expose these useless Leaders. Report Abuse
