Spokesperson for the Tembisa Community Forum, Xolani Mnisi: "She saw that her unresponsiveness to the community has also enraged the community, so her coming here, it's what we wanted and a show of faith... she was taking the community into her confidence 'that I am truly a mayor of the whole Ekurhuleni, not a mayor of the suburbs but also a mayor of the townships of Tembisa.'"
