The spokesperson of the Mangaung Concerned Community (MCC), Themba Zweni, requested the removal of the metro council members. He was speaking with the Free State MEC for Cooperative Governance, Mxolisi Dukwana, addressing community issues outside the Dr Petrus Molemela Indoor Sports Center in Bloemfontein after the Free State State of the Province Address (Sopa) on Monday. He says members of the council are busy fighting for positions instead of fighting for issues that will serve community members, such as service delivery. Zweni said that the current council does not serve the residents and this will be on Tuesday's agenda.
