A ward councillor had a strange response to protesters who chanted songs accusing him of being a k** leader.
Instead of arguing with the marchers, the ANC’s Luvuyo Hebe joined them as they sang, “He is a dog, he must go”.
Some people were shocked to find out the TR Section main man Luvuyo Hebe is the bad man portrayed in the songs.
When the Daily Voice arrived at the Andile Msizi Hall in Site B, Khayelitsha, the people were singing: “Ulawula ububhanxa Hebe”, meaning “Your leadership is k**”.
Hebe stepped out of a red BMW and walked up to the the crowd.
Wearing a long coat and a Malema-style beret, the councillor started toyi-toying with the furious residents.
People pointed at him saying: “Stop interfering with the housing project!”
But Hebe continued demonstrating with them.
Community leader Albert Khoza says: “He has kept us out of all the meetings about the housing project in Nuwe Begin.
“And he only took some of his friends and gave them jobs at the construction site.
“We are tired of him having secret meetings with some people.”
When one of the community leaders tried to read the hand-written memorandum, Hebe interrupted and told the people he wanted to go inside the hall.
But people refused and started threatening to beat him up.
But he confidently said: “No one will touch me, I’m not worried.
“But I will not stop whoever wants to.”
He told the crowd that they were fighting for something they know nothing about.
“On Friday morning, I went to Mfuleni to the development which the residents shut down on Wednesday, we went to make sure that the workers continued with the construction,” Hebe says.
“There was no agenda or secret meeting.”
After talking to the people, he marched again with them to another hall along Mew Way.
