Anele Qaba – Another View

10 April 2024 By Alan Straton

The Shock, Gasp, Horror around the MBDA’s appointment of Anela Qaba refers.

I have placed myself in his shoes and imagine as follows:

If I was NOT qualified in terms of the appointment and was witness to the wholesale condemnation of my appointment and even slander against myself I do NOT think that I would be able to sleep at night and would have walked away a long time ago.

It MUST be said that Anele was APPOINTED and those that did the APPOINTING must examine the reasons why they did so.

  • Was it because they wanted a puppet to manipulate and profit from?
  • Was it becasue they were completely incompetent and failed to ensure the candidate did qualify?
  • Do they actually view the Municipality and it’s entities as their OWN corner shop with easy access to the cash in the till?

Whatever the reasons it is a crying shame that people can be appointed to positions of trust when they know full well that they do not possess the qualifications to do so – whatever happened to exercising your own personal moral compass and being lauded for that?

Passionate about Port Elizabeth and definitely NOT packing for Perth. Alan's ethos is epitomised in the words of Nelson Mandela; "I have fought against white domination and I have fought against black domination. I have cherished the idea of a democratic and free society. If need be, it is an ideal for which I am prepared to die." See more articles by Alan.
