Tshwane Mayoral Mansion SOLD! Will Build 52 RDP Houses

The City of Tshwane’s mayoral mansion has been sold for R5.1 million from a reserve price of R4.8 million. From this sale, the Democratic Alliance (DA) claim a total of 52 RDP houses – inclusive of land and services – will be built for those who need it most in the city.

The DA-led multiparty administration has been on a mission since they took office in 2016 to let everyone know they will prioritize the needs of the residents of Tshwane, especially the poor, and cut down on everything that the administration deemed to be frivolous.

The mayoral mansion became a centre point for their campaign, with journalists invited to view the run-down mansion where an investigation had found that at least R12 million was allegedly spent by the previous ANC-led office to “renovate” the house… yet the valuation on the property indicated that it could only be sold at a minimum of R5 million.

Tshwane Mayor Solly Msimanga thanked the successful bidder “for helping us help the people of Tshwane by taking this property off our hands so we may tend to our core business… which is to help our people live a better life of dignity. I equally thank all the other bidders for showing interest in this property.”

The DA proudly boasted that “a house for just one man under the ANC has been sold to build houses for more than 200 under the DA”.
