JOHANNESBURG - While millions of Johannesburg residents face crime daily, Johannesburg Mayor Kabelo Gwamanda is reportedly being given 10 bodyguards and a fleet of luxury cars for his protection.
According to reports, the City will spend over R3m a month on VIP protection.
The City is rubbishing reports saying the numbers are being exaggerated.
It says no additional budget has been set aside for this purpose, and there is no diversion of resources from essential service delivery.
DA Johannesburg caucus leader, Belinda Kayser-Echeozonjoku and mayoral spokesperson Mlimandlela Ndamase spoke to eNCA.
