The UNITE party is calling for the closure of all the specialist companies which fall under the City of Johannesburg.
The party, which is barely two months old, held a mass meeting in Kliptown, Soweto, where it sought to recruit people to stand as candidate councillors in next year’s local government elections.
Johannesburg, which lies at the centre of the country’s most populous province, will be one of the most contested battlegrounds in the polls.
Rise Mzansi Leader Songezo Zibi says the metro’s satellite companies are being used as feeding troughs.
