He expressed shock at the lack of service delivery in the township, claiming the Democratic Alliance (DA) government wasn't servicing disadvantaged communities.
He said it's time the national government intervenes to salvage the situation in Cape Town townships.
“These are our people. We are going to come here, and we are going to ensure that we address their challenges. The national ministers are here, and we told them not to wait for the provincial government.
“If they are not addressing challenges of these people, you must come all the way here and help our people. That’s what we are going to do.”
