Mayor Mashaba blames Jo'burg's inner city crime on ‘undocumented people'
[TSA] Following a spate of vicious muggings in Johannesburg’s inner-city, Mayor Herman Mashaba has singled out undocumented foreigners and a bureaucratic judicial system as the main causes for the prevailing scourge of ’petty’ crime.

In an interview with 702 Talk Radio, Mashaba sympathised with residents who had been affected by crime in Jo’burg’s central business district (CBD).

Johannesburg mugging caught on camera sparks outrage
The mayor had to face some tough questions regarding the lack of visible policing within the CBD ‐ an outcry which has intensified following amateur video footage captured the vicious mugging of a man in Small Street Mall.

The mall, which is right outside the South Gauteng High Court, was busy at the time. Onlookers did not intervene for fear of their own safety. No police officers were present in an area that is known for being a mugging hotspot.

Responding to questions posed by talk show host, Azania Mosaka, Mashaba bemoaned the fact that undocumented foreigners were able to slip through the cracks and avoid capture due to them not being on the record.
