Hmmm...that's a good point. I should market myself to Business Day for a column. Unfortunately Dawie Scholtz and Wayne Sussman have stolen my thunder as SA's pre-eminent elections analyst.:ROFL:

The Ekurhuleni R1.9-billion toilet tender that stinks to high heaven

Critics dubbed the Ekurhuleni R1.9-billion chemical toilets tender as Imoto Entshontsha Imali (the ‘vehicle for stealing the money’ or the ‘getaway car’). amaBhungane’s Tabelo Timse went to find out w…

The exorbitant cost for services to metro vehicles was also under investigation but I guess with ANC/EFF that will disappear. Masina also wanted to withdraw funds allocated to the SPCA and put it to tender, perfect opportunity for an ANC cadre to cash in. Getting it back on track was one thing Campbell got right.

Nelson Mandela Bay Mayor Retief Odendaal removed through a motion of no confidence | News24

Another DA mayor, Retief Odendaal, has been removed - this time on Friday through the EFF and ANC alliance in Nelson Mandela Bay Municipality.
www.news24.com www.news24.com

The motion of no confidence was brought before the council by the EFF during a special council meeting. It was supported by the Northern Alliance, Patriotic Alliance, and the ANC.

The EFF brought a motion against Odendaal because they said he had failed to act against his deputy mayor, Mkhuseli Jack after the Auditor-General had found that companies belonging to Jack did business with the municipality.

However, the AG later cleared Jack of any wrongdoing. Jack had unsuccessfully attempted to have the court halt the special sitting.

After Odendaal was removed as mayor, nominations were opened for his replacement.

There were two names nominated: Odendaal and speaker Gary van Niekerk; they both accepted the nominations.

Once again like in GP, ANC/EFF follows the same strat. Get some oke from a small party and make him a puppet mayor.

P.S Odendaal lasted around 8 - 9 months.
