While President Jacob Zuma was addressing most of the country's mayors, municipal managers, premiers and local government MEC's at the OR Tambo Hall in Khayelitsha, angry residents of the neighbouring RR-Section informal settlement wanted to know why they had not been invited.
As police kept an eye on him, an angry resident, who would be identified only as Mthuthuzeli, expressed his disappointment at Zuma for not inviting members of the public to the meeting: "When he was canvassing for votes, he came into our shacks and didn't put up a fence to keep us out. I want to know whether he could smell the excrement from inside the hall where he was sitting."
Another resident, Sizwe Dlabantu, asked: "If it was only for VIP's, why did they bring it here to Khayelitsha, they should've had it at the Arabella Sheraton in town."
