DA locks down Nelson Mandela Bay with multi-party coalition

[ellyally]

Shall we be gracious in defeat? Certainly yes, because we respect the will of the people

-ANC 2/8/16

Resolved yesterday morning. Backlog will not be cleared. So us Tuesday crowd must store our bags for a week or take it to their drop-off points.

Great news, seems the DA coalition is already working for us

We need to relook at the PR system - Mantashe

and thank you Chris .......

If you two had bothered to read what I said properly, maybe you would have given me an actual answer. I called BS on "...about the only change on the horizon" would be the ANC changing the PR system. I know they did cry about the PR system. So, again, how would they actually change it??

The Council meeting has started despit the ANC's court bid to halt it. They are unhappy about the process to allocate council seats and say the system is flawed.

68 of the 120 candidate councillors are present.

52 missing candidate councillors would be from the ANC (50), AIC (1) and UFEC (1).

#NMBCouncil The new council is to be sworn in in the next hour but ANC councillors have decided to boycott the meeting. XK

It's amazing how the system is all of a sudden flawed when they start loosing but previously it was "sharp".

Just wait until national elections; they'll be telling us the whole electoral system is flawed.

Meeting started, now the ANC has decided to walk in and make a noise. But the meeting will go ahead.

DA not reacting... sitting quietly and waiting for the meeting to proceed.

 

[MickZA]

Sounds like the inaugural coalition council meeting will proceed smoothly ...

edit:
