Phikwe mayor shuns official residence

Mojuta has however, defended his decision, saying his stance has not affected his accessibility to the electorate.

His critics argue that he is not easily accessible since he is not staying at the mayor's house. Some people feel that it is a limitation to have the mayor staying in his personal property, as they will not  be free to visit him. House number 1008 on Kopano road in Tshabantsha, which is the official mayor's residence, has been allocated to a council employee.
