Mongameli Bobani on life support

They can defend Bobani as much as they want.
Trollip, determined to clean up a corrupt administration moved swiftly to terminate more than R650 million in corrupt contracts, suspending officials and opening mayoral committee meetings and tender adjudication processes to the public. These clean-up efforts exposed a fatal fault line in the coalition government when it became apparent that the values of good governance were antithetical to the values of the UDM’s Mongameli Bobani.

Bobani’s removal from the coalition in 2018 set in motion a chain of events which saw the ANC’s criminal syndicate recapture the council and administration of NMB using Bobani as their proxy. This led to the rapid establishment of the so-called black caucus which embarked upon a racially charged campaign highlighted by the EFF threatening to "cut the throat of whiteness" in reference to Trollip.

Overnight, the "black caucus" smeared good governance as racist and the end goal was the dismantling of a coalition of good governance to be replaced by a coalition of corruption – the criminal state.

Trollip was removed as Mayor in August 2018, bringing an end to the DA-led coalition and Bobani became the city’s first citizen, or "number one" if you will. His first move was to award a drain cleaning tender to SMMEs worth over R20 million now known as the "Great Drain Heist". Since the award of that tender, more than 18 people have been killed in what the police have described as "hits" bearing all the hallmarks of politically motivated killings.

The revolving doors of cadre deployment were back at City Hall as Bobani suspended the permanent city manager and recycled numerous acting city managers to try to find one that would do his bidding.

Yes. DA went into coalition with him and the EFF in Port Elizabeth when they won nearly a majority (but not quite...and effectively pissed away our votes in doing so as those 2 parties kicked them out of power!) and made him deputy mayor. THEN all the stories of alleged irregularity came out and they tried to remove him as deputy mayor, which succeeded...only to be removed themselves by him.
They brought him out of the wilderness a couple of weeks ago as the head of infrastructure. Basically to fix roads and leaks, none of which has been done. The DA councillors are going around fixing potholes.

All talk, no action.

One early morning, last year in September, some drunk driver took out the street sign on the corner of my plot ...


... it's still lying there, despite numerous reports/requests/threats.

7.5 weeks to get someone to fix the trenches outside our block on our street. The guy who owned the company doing said trenching drove a brand new M5. His guys were probably paid a pittance.
4 weeks for the lot running local government to fix 2 leaks at a park which had left the park completely sodden (I hate to think how much water had leaked out during that period!). Months to fix potholes.

The people running the show don't care.
