The Commission says it will fulfill its constitutional mandate by promoting and protecting human rights engaged with both the ADF and Cllr Mashaba and determined that this matter would be best resolved through a process of mediation.
It is alleged that Mashaba made malicious comments publicly against foreign nationals accusing them of being responsible for criminality in the City of Johannesburg;
In a statement issued by the SAHRC details “That undocumented foreign nationals compound criminality and make it difficult for law enforcement to perform their duties and,” says the Statement.
Reports say Mashaba claims that foreign nationals were holding the country to ransom.

Both parties were given a platform to recount their version of events and upon the conclusion of the mediatory discussion various terms of settlement were reached.

These terms have given rise to a settlement agreement to be signed by the parties.
